Summary/Abstract: The article presents research results on effects of foreign labour migrations of women from Opole Silesia on marital/partner relations. The conducted research showed that despite separation, the migrants rate relations in their relationships as good or very good. This results mainly from the fact that their stays abroad are of short duration. Additionally, regular telephone contacts are maintained, and the research participants also frequently visit their families. Moving abroad is, however ,the base of conflicts resulting mainly from absence from home and over-burdening husbands/partners with additional responsibilities, but these influences are not strong enough to disrupt good relations in relationships.
