Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to show the evolution of matrimony and family implied by the Christian and traditional ideal toward modern concepts of family. The fundamental element of functioning of a human being in the society is a family, which is the first environment for human development. Therefore, a universal view of a family enables to show the role of an individual striving to fulfil the mission of one’s life that is implemented by starting a family in the context of ideas of God and man. In this context, the author concludes that the traditional family model characterised by indissolubility and faithfulness, wherein the traditional model of education and the value of religiosity are appreciated, has been replaced by a modern family model. The God’s plan of family headed by the sense of faith is increasingly being replaced by human ideas that strip off its beauty and harmony given by the Creator.
