In the era of the collapse of traditional values, the human family is subjected to the greatest test by the spirit of the times. Nowadays, the question of the loss of the true, mysterious dimension of the union of husband and wife, of the reduction of marriage to various social functions, arises with unprecedented urgency.

The author of the book, Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh, examines the most pressing problems of the relationship between husband and wife, raising children in the modern world, relying on the rich experience accumulated by the Church throughout its history. The book can become a practical guide for a wide range of readers in solving difficult issues of family life, but its main advantage is that it helps to restore the understanding of Marriage as a sacrament of love and unity, as a way for a person to fulfill his original destiny.
