Summary/Abstract: The origin of the current family crisis does not consist exclusively of factors external to the family,but above all in the lack of internal resources that support and solidify the family from within. Inthe context of marriage institution crisis and recent transformation of the concept of the family, it is important to reflect on the appropriate remedies to deal with this situation. The article tries to present tenderness as an important factor in restoring balance within the family. For the members of a family it is important to be able to express tenderness through the language of the body. This makes their relationships more authentic and expresses their commitment to building strong and lasting family ties. The last part of the article is an attempt to outline the basic features of the spirituality of tenderness in order to give the family new strength and stability.
