Marital Status and Trends of Marriage Behaviour in the E.U. and Romania. The family system as we know it in Europe is in a deep process of transformation due to a large variety of socio-economic causes. The post-war industrial and sexual revolution lead to important changes in the marrying behaviour, not only in the Western European “free countries”, but also in those of the communist bloc. The more recent period shows that after 1989, the countries of Eastern Europe present an accelerating trend to follow modern or even post-modern patterns of family and marriage, with a very low fertility as the most important symptom. The values and attitudes concerning marriage and family also present a large variety between the regions and countries, according to the differences in religion, culture and socio-economic development.
