Partnerstwo w relacji małżeńskiej jako współczesna wartość wychowania
Equality between spouses in marital relations as the contemporary value of upbringing

Summary/Abstract: Today we observe the dynamic changes in relations between the sexes in the family, which appear as a result of economic, cultural, and social transformation, the growth of women’s economic strength, as well as the level of their education, and the development of the ideas of the equal rights of women and men in the labor market and in social life. Hitherto existing research results show that Poles are increasingly in favor of the egalitarian family model and declare their wish to build their relationships based on equality. In the article I will characterize our cultural context, in which the egalitarian relation of a man and a woman in a family is both an educational space of confrontation between the “old” concept of family life, often rooted in Parsons’ concept of the nuclear family, and the “new” one, specific for the socio-cultural breakthrough in Poland. I will also present the involvement of formal education in fixing stereotypical images of family life, which are in opposition to the changes observed in relations between women and men. At the end I will present my own concept of education for equality in the marital relations, as well as the frame of equality between spouses in marital relations as a value of upbringing, which are a response to the needs of contemporary women and men.
