Summary/Abstract: The Church in Slovakia included marriage and family to Pastoral plan for years 2007 – 2013 as priority group of pastoration. The Church places the emphasis on quality preparation for marriage so that young people can realize that they should make their plan of life according to God’s will by sacramental marriage. We meet young people who are not interested in sacramental marriage or young people who live long time together without marriage and then they decide to get married, or very young people who want to get married because of pregnancy. Church wants to form and lead family in spirit of gospel. We can see that Slovak family is incomplete by various reasons. These are problems of the third millennium which Church meets, but it is also a challenge for Church to address these families in spirit of pastoration.
