Przedmałżeńskie perspektywy sukcesu rodzinnego młodzieży miejskiej

Abstract

The paper presents results of research on patterns and models of behaviour of young couples in antenuptial period. The research conducted in 1983 covers 154 young couples living in Łódź. The paper aims at determining factors which influence successful marriage life of young, urban couples. Ihe following ones have been taken into account: level of maturity of partners, homagamy of matching, course of the antenuptial period, social and material conditions (families of origin) of start to marriage life, marriage and family models of the generation of the 80-ties and the level of mutual recognition and adjustment of partners before marriage. The obtained results show that difficult material conditions and the low level of mutual recognition and adjustment before marriage are the main sources of failure in the future marriage life. On the other than, autonomy and homogamy of choice of partners seem to be the prerequisites of success in marriage. An analysis of the marriage life of the couples in question has been undertaken recently, and it is hoped that it will check the relevancy rif the propounded theses and conclusions.
