THE CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN FAMILY. ARE THE YOUNG PEOPLE PREPARED FOR THIS RESPONSABILITY?

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary Christian family is confronted with many challenges. The beginning of a marriage is blessed by the Church. Both spouses are expected to do their best in creating a happy family. The perfect marriage is possible only within Jesus Christ Who is the head of the Church. The groom and the bride are asked to constantly increase the love “capital” that they receive when they are wedded in a parish church. There are many struggles to carry in order to live your Christian faith to the full in today’s world. Parents are called to get involved in a parochial community where they can find activities appropriate for their family. Children live a different childhood nowadays because of the constant attraction that digital media exerts. Mum and dad need to be cautious and vigilant all the time. The dialogue within the family is the most important aspect. It has to be developed day by day. When children come into the world the adults must be prepared. Reading about children’s development has become mandatory. A loving parent will perceive easily the perils outside the house. A Christian family promotes a type of teaching that is not in accordance with the postmodern society. Its principles may seem rigid to the outsiders but in fact they increase the capacity of the person to love God and the others. And this represents the goal of a fulfilled existence within the Church of Jesus Christ as known within Orthodoxy.
