Summary/Abstract: Using the writings of John Paul II and the documents of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, the article examines the relationship between the state and the family. It theoretically justifies the importance of conscious parenthood and motherhood in the creation of the common good of society. By emphasizing the role of responsibility, the article reveals the indispensable role that conscious parenthood and motherhood plays in the education of children. The article points out that the contribution of married families of one man and one woman to the creation of the common good of society ensures the survival of the state and the nation and builds a civilization of love. The article concludes with the conclusions of this theoretical study and suggests directions for further research: the integration of human sexuality in the context of conjugal love; the religious education of children in the family and in school; and the principles of building the family as a domestic church.
