Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the discussion that questions the timelessness of regarding the family as a natural institution and supports that stance by reminding us of experimental forms of man’s sexual, personal and social realization outside marriage and natural traditional family. A deeper analysis of those experiments, however, shows how ill functioning and transitory they are and how absurd it is to see marriage and family as merely culture creation that change with time and depend on fashion. The natural marriage and the family based on marriage reflect the reasonable character of human nature and serve the functionality of human communities. The author attributes some arguments concerning the necessity of natural family as the basis of psychological, personal and social development of human being. If we refuse the role of the family in that sphere we will remain without chance to humanize the future of human beings.
