In the paper we have introduced a concept of market equilibrium in the model of market with twosided preferences (the model is based on the well-known Gale-Shapley model of college admissions from 1962). We have investigated relationships between our concept of equilibrium and the concept of stable matching as defined by Gale and Shapley.
