Zwoliński, Andrzej2022-12-122022-12-122006Polonia Sacra, 2006, R. 10 (28), Nr 18 (62), s. 93-112.1428-5673http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/2171Nowadays there have appeared a number of new, alternative forms of marriage and family life. As a result, more and more often the term is used in plural - “families”. Alternative forms are treated as real types and many of tchem are approved of socially, or even legalized – usually after some time, ex post facto – by law. In this way they become institutionalized models of living and give the “partners' exclusiveness of each other” Although their variety is put in the limelight, the main type of a formal, monogamous family does not disappear. Hence it is most often proposed to adopt many definitions of family, depending on the type of relationship and family structure.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/nauki o rodzinierodzinaduszpasterstwomałżeństwopartnerstworelacje międzyosoboweumowa małżeńskahistoriawartościspołeczeństwoseksualnośćmiłośćrozwódfamily studiesfamilyministrymarriagepartnershipinterpersonal relationshipsmarriage contracthistoryvaluessocietysexualitylovedivorcesacramentssakramentyArticle
