Summary/Abstract: In this article I will analyze the effects that the ideas propagated by the ‘sexual revolution’ of the 60s and 80s have on the family institution today. In my analysis I will consider two main effects: the first one deals with the vulnerability of axiology in the matter of philosophy of life and lifestyle. In this frame, the subjective takes the first place before the objective, experience before the essence, personal before the communitarian. The second element is a consequence of the first one and it refers to the crisis of authority and respect. By using excessive discourse regarding social equality, today's man seeks to get rid of everything that is considered an outdated lifestyle. From this perspective, I will analyze both the changes produced within the family (redefinitions, roles), as well as the behavioural changes and the way in which they could be improved. I will consider character education, emotional investment, forgiveness, and family life accompanied by prayer.
