Marriage and Bi-Confessional Upbringing in the Borderland: Insights from Research

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to characterize marriages and the process of bi-confessional upbringing in the borderlands. It takes the form of a review. The research concerns multireligious families in cultural borderlands, particularly along the southern and eastern borders of Poland, where different peoples, religions, and traditions naturally coexist. The article adopts a socio-pedagogical perspective, drawing on historical, social, and religious studies, and seeks to answer the following questions: What strategies guide partners in choosing a religion (denomination) when forming a bi-religious family? What are the potential benefits and challenges of bi-confessional families, especially in the context of religious education? What is the social perception of bi-confessional families in the borderlands? The method employed is a systematic review of the subject literature. The analysis highlights the potential of bi-confessional families, including the development of children's social and cultural capital, as well as the difficulties arising from identity conflicts and differing religious perspectives. The article points to the need for further research, particularly on religious education and the role of mixed marriages in social and cultural integration in border regions.
