Summary/Abstract: The family constitutes a distinct social reality. The characteristics specific for the family originate from its different function: physiologic, moral, educational, economic or emotional. It can also be added the juridical role, which is not always related to the other functions. Yet, the complexity of the family life overpasses all these aspects, reaching different levels of social development. If the moral role is, as well, fulfilled (love, affection, understanding and mutual respect), we can talk about a strong family, emotionally connected, which is translated into the reciprocal satisfaction of the two partners’ needs and aspirations. This family generates a favourable climate, in which the children can be brought up and educated. For these reasons, the family is a special form of the human community, permanently related to the social reality, which cannot be separated from the numerous phenomena and processes that characterise the society at some point.
