A family is a complex system in which a child's value orientations are formed, influencing his perception of the world and interaction with others. From an early age, being in the first social cell, the child absorbs norms and attitudes that will later become the basis of his worldview. Family experience, traditions, communication with parents and loved ones determine not only behavior, but also emotional state, forming the desire for achievements, love and understanding.

This article presents the results of a comprehensive study of the characteristics of choosing a marriage partner among young men and women who grew up in single-parent families. The relevance of the study is due to the growing number of single-parent families and their influence on the formation of interpersonal relationships in young people. Single-parent families can form specific psychological attitudes in children, influencing their ideas about love, intimacy, and trust. Studying these characteristics can help understand how the circumstances of family upbringing influence the preferences of young men and women when choosing a partner. A theoretical analysis of the integration of modern concepts of marital choice and the psychological consequences of upbringing in single-parent families is supplemented by an original empirical study. The sample consisted of 50 people (25 young men and 25 young women) aged 18 to 23 years. A set of methods was used: the method of personal differential of O.L. Kustov, the method of studying value orientations of S. Schwartz, the method of «Role Expectations and Aspirations in Marriage» by A.N. Volkova. Statistically significant differences in value orientations, role expectations, and self-esteem were identified between young men and women. The hypothesis that marriage partner choice is compensatory, driven by the desire to compensate for the lack of parental love and create a stable relationship, was confirmed.
