Summary/Abstract: Since the early 1990s clear changes have been observable in the tendency to enter into marriages of persons living in both urban and rural areas. The purpose of the article is to show whether these changes have contributed to making these behaviours grow similar according to place of residence. Additionally, the article also presents the direction and intensity of this process by voivodeships in the 1990-2009 period, and indicates the regions of Poland, where the process progressed rapidly and was characterised by similar changes.
