Summary/Abstract: Mature individual creates a family community, in which two people, sharing one human nature and equal in their dignity, are united in the sacrament of matrimony and become one body. The maturity of people destined to be man and wife and then parents is closely related to their Christian maturity. Consequently, the formation of an individual who wishes to live in a family has to take into account the two above-mentioned aspects. As ‘well understood’ maturity is gained in a well functioning family, the author discusses the family duties and the supporting role of the Church. The article is an attempt to present some pastoral suggestions to improve the present situation in this field. One of the most important aspects of maturity is the concern for the life in faith.
