In this paper, we consider factor covered graphs, which are defined basically as connected graphs in which every edge belongs to a 1-factor. The main theorem is that for any two edges e and e′ of a factor covered graph, there is a cycle C passing through e and e′ such that the edge set of C is the symmetric difference of two 1-factors.
