Today's reality requires an individual to respond creatively to the challenges of the changing world and a liquid reality. Nonconformism and individualism are socially promoted. Still, many people want to live in an intimate relationship with a person close to them. There are visible changes of the individual life and anticipations about intimate relationships. Modern studies describe a lot of alternatives to the heterosexual marriage. The test results relating to the formal structure of compounds in the vast majority show no difference in the quality and durability of various forms of relationships. There is no in-depth analysis of the informal of relationship's structure. In this article, it was assumed that an intimate relationship is a kind of life project through which people struggle with post-modern social reality. Via intimate relationships, partners can enhance personal creative potential and more creatively confront the events of life and face the challenges posed by developmental and life tasks. The theoretical analyses indicate the need to examine contemporary patterns of relationships. Perhaps those patterns will provide adequate socialization patterns. It was assumed that the relationship pattern includes: characteristics of partners, characteristic of the features of the formal and informal structure.Key words: intimate relationships, project of life, subjectivity, relations patterns WprowadzenieWspółczesny człowiek pozostaje w konflikcie między autokreacją a konformizmem.

The purpose of this study was to analyse women’s perceptions of their transition to motherhood in the late decades of their female adulthood. The research problem was whether and to what extent the meaning of the transition to motherhood changes for women from different birth cohorts. Our sample included mothers from two generational cohorts: 50 women in middle adulthood (M = 47.66), and 52 women in late adulthood (M = 69.35). The results were analysed using qualitative data analysis methods, including frequency analysis and qualitative narrative analysis. Based on the analyses, the category of transition to motherhood was found to be a standard feature for all the women studied in middle and late adulthood. In both older generations, some women recalled the birth of their first child as a coping with change. Indicators of criticality were extracted from their narratives: potential bivalence, the unpredictability of consequences, and longevity of life changes. The results showed that the generation of women in late adulthood exhibited significantly fewer difficulties related to their own motherhood. The semantic dominant of the narratives studied is motherhood as taking responsibility for another person.
Celem artykułu jest próba opisania źródeł i sposobów tworzenia przez rodzinę niepowtarzalnej opowieści o własnej historii życia. Wprowadzono autorską kategorię „biografii rodzinnej” jako zwielokrotnioną (będąca czymś więcej niż sumą biografii jednostkowych), podlegającą systemowym zasadom cyrkularności i ekwipotencjalności nieskończoną rekonstrukcję znaczeń wynikającą z napięcia między biegiem życia rodziny a opowieścią o historii życia. Rodzina rozumiana jako system jest zdolna do uwspólniania znaczeń podczas bliskich spotkań z wewnętrznymi i zewnętrznymi narracjami. Spotkania te autorka proponuje określać mianem epizodów wspólnego zaangażowania biograficznego. Budowanie rodzinnej wspólnoty znaczeń jest istotne dla rozwoju systemu rodziny i może mieć walor tożsamościowy.
