In this paper we introduce generalized symmetric Meir-Keeler contractions and prove
some coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone operators 
in partially ordered metric spaces. The obtained results extend, complement and unify
some recent coupled fixed point theorems due to Samet (Nonlinear Anal. 72:4508-4517,
2010), Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham (Nonlinear Anal. 65:1379-1393, 2006) and some other
very recent papers. An example to show that our generalizations are effective is also
presented.
