Summary/Abstract: It seems that nowadays there are many threats to the marriage and the family that come also from provisions of law. Facing the situation, the Christian Churches in Poland (the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland as an example) are urged to show their concern about the marriage and the family and begin an ecumenical dialog for undertaking an action to protect and promote the Christian paradigm. The action in question would promote a pattern of the marriage and the family for legislative bodies e.g., Polish parliament. There are many legal possibilities for such an action, e.g., legislative initiative.
