Contemporary Concept of Marriage and Family in the Opinion of Students

Abstract

The article will address the problem of the contemporary concept of marriage and family in the opinion of students. The first part will address the issue of defining the concept of marriage in contemporary theological, canonical, psychological, pedagogical and sociological literature. In this context, a thorough and critical analysis and synthesis of the scientific literature on marriage will be made. It seems that marriage is an interdisciplinary term. In this approach, there will be a certain agreement as to the basic elements that make up the overall definition. In the second part of this publication, the same methodological steps as above will be undertaken, however, this time with regard to the concept of family. In this case, a certain, specific concept of an interdisciplinary family will emerge. The third part of the article will concern the analysis of the empirical research that had been conducted. Diagnostic survey is the method used in this research, and a questionnaire is the tool. At the beginning there will be a data sheet followed by six open questions. The entire article will be closed with a brief ending and conclusions.
