The author of the article is attempting to find the answer to the question of how far the behaviour of married partners in Eastern Slovakia (and in a broader sense also in the whole of Slovakia) imitates the contemporary trends of European civilisation. In the author's understanding these are the processes of the modernisation, democratisation and secularisation of European society in general and partner behaviour in particular, and her aim is to determine what the specific difference of the behaviour of married couples in Eastern Slovakia is in comparison with these trends. The European matrimonial family developed out of the traditional multifariousness and disunity of family forms, through the modern unification of the matrimonial model, to a plurality of post-modern models in co-existence. The author of the article deals with the types of matrimonial family in traditional, modern and post-modern societies. The rise of cohabitation in Western Europe during the past twenty years logically creates a decline in marriages, but this fact does not also mean a decline in partnership. The author investigated the changes in marriage behaviour in Eastern Slovakia and their place in Western European processes during 1998-1999. This sociological research on the character of marriage relations in Eastern Slovakia was conducted among 696 respondents. The author discovered that reproductive behaviour patterns in Eastern Slovakia have a mixed, traditional, and also modernised and specifically Slovak character
