Summary/Abstract: The indissoluble and fertile marriage is the proposal of God from the beginning of our story. This proposal is just the first thing, that God says to Adam and Eva. The Creator knows, that the fate of individual persons and the fate of the whole mankind depend from what happens between man and woman, and especially between husband and wife. The proposals in the postmodern society go in the other direction: “free” relationships, conflict between women and men ( feminism ) or promotion of the homosexual relationships. In this context the most important task of the catholic Church is on the one hand advancement of marriage and family and on the other hand solid preparation of fiancée for the sacrament of marriage. Formation of the young people that are able to love in faithful, generous and fertile way is the most important purpose and criterion of the education. It is also the first condition of the good future of the society and Church.
