Summary/Abstract: The Christian lecture determines the basic elements of a family, enabled to fulfill and accomplish human personality which, from a humanly perspective, is defined as the intentionality towards communion and aspiration towards values … Therefore, “the man is the head of the family; the woman is the brilliance – the celebration of man… Man is calling, reason, knowledge, power, reflection, creation; woman is answer, heart, commitment, spontaneity, procreation, the possibility of inspiration and revelation of man’s power”. At the same time, the Christian family fulfills the purpose of human life on Earth, as well as the existential destiny of man, in the sense that “man desires the woman to be a continuation of him, of his work, so as to physically defeat death; woman desires to carry, to give birth to the fruit of her body with love and devotion”.
