Polish girls are brought up to have great respect for their culture and tradition. This education usually begins at home. The parents and grandparents make the girls aware of a sense of patriotism and loyalty to their own country. The girls are taught traditional Polish songs that carry the history of Poland in their lyrics. Schools take over the function of instilling culture and tradition into Polish girls. Every school proudly displays Polish national emblems and the flag. Polish traditions are especially respected during two major religious holidays: Easter and Christmas. During Easter, young Polish females help prepare the food basket whereas during Christmas they work hard on getting the holidays meals ready while listening and singing Polish carols.
Polish women are unlike Western women due to the historical, cultural, and political situation of Poland. The woman in Poland has always been put on the pedestal. She has been cherished as a homemaker, a mother to her children and a great wife. She has always been a pillar of a family, many times working outside of the home and taking care of her husband and her children on top of that. Polish females marry on average at age 23 and men at age 26. Once they get married, they hardly ever divorce. Divorce is not as prevalent in Poland as it is in many of the other former communist countries such as Russia. This difference is associated with Poland being a traditionally Catholic country, where over 90% are Catholic. Catholicism forbids married couples to divorce. Even if they do divorce, Polish females are unwilling to remarry. Typically, in a divorce women receive custody of the children. In 1991, women were granted sole custody of the children in over 70% of the divorce cases involving children under age 18. As wives, Polish women are very faithful and devoted. Once their trust is broken, however, they are not likely to trust somebody else. Due to their upbringing, they are taught to be faithful to one man and one man only.
