Summary/Abstract: The family, the basic cell of all times society, in late 50's it started to be attacked periodically by different social, economic, moral and spiritual problems.This situation was possible because young parents wanted to ensure a better life, a decent life, a better education and training of young characters and personalities. This way, the education so called „seven years from home” is damaged and the new generation with it, the entire society.The foundation of the family itself is damaged because it is recorded a phenomenon called „cohabitation”. This is an immoral and illogical way of life, without worries and responsibilities. But in reality, these worries and responsibilities are more numerous and more disturbing in terms of social and psychological. The relationship between man and woman pleasing to God is that relationship witch was made with the blessing of the Church through the Holy Mystery of the Holly Wedding, witch helps the young couple to exceed all the obstacles and the weights of life. Another problem of contemporary society is assisted reproduction. This is a way to reproduce for those couples who have fertility problems, but this method draws ethical and legal issues, medical and religious aspects. In this context is well known the Louis Brown case, the first child created through „in vitro” fertilization, on 25ve of July, 1978. Although the method comes like a consolation for the young couples witch have fertility problems, the decision of practicing this method of reproduction must be taken in an ecclesial environment by consulting their confessor, his advice and through continuous prayer. Modern times have known another problem witch seriously affecting the society and the family: the homosexuality.The man was created male and female after the image and likeness of God. Everyone who broke this principle commits a big sin and immorality because damages and perverts the human nature. The homosexuality is the result of rejection and disobedience of God and those witch are adopting this way of life will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Since 1970 the phenomenon has grown and in our time we assist to the so called „gay march”. In Romania the homosexuality was legalized since 2001, without taking into account the disease problem, sometimes incurable (HIV/AIDS), witch is pronounced in these environments.
