Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author analyses the developmental, evolutionary and planning aspects of spousechoice. The work refers to Robert Havighurst’s developmental tasks theory, Tadeusz Mądrzycki’spersonality theory and the evolutionary psychology theory. According to Havighurst’s theory,failure to achieve such an important developmental task as spouse choice makes the man unhappy,which in turn makes the following developmental tasks even more difficult. Spouse choice shouldnot only be a decree of faith but also a conscious task. The planning aspect of spouse choice isanalysed referring to Mądrzycki’s theory, considering such life plans features as the essence,importance degree, conformity to social norms, realism or minuteness of detail. From theevolutionary psychology theory perspective, the short woman’s fertility time has a seriousconsequence – little time for spouse choice.
