Abstract
This chapter outlines that marriage is a highly-valued societal institution, though young adults have some diverse beliefs about the institution. Relationship status may contribute to these beliefs. The authors present the study in which The Marital Meaning Inventory was completed by a sample of unmarried university students in Poland. As results revealed, single and partnered individuals differed on three of the five dimensions of marital meaning. Additional analyses indicated that three clusters of belief systems differed in their proportions among partnered individuals. In general, results suggest that partnered individuals had more idealistic perspectives on marriage
