  Abstract:  The Christian Family – the Foundation of Vocation. Family is a deep communion of life and love, established by the Creator and regulated by His laws. It is the strongest bond that can exist between a woman and a man. The concept of family is closely connected with its monogamous nature. In the sacrament of marriage spouses receive a grace from Christ, which is intended for the perfecting of love and for strengthening their indissoluble unity. Nowadays, marriage is experiencing a crisis. It would be worth showing the marriage not only as a covenant, communion or institution, but as a vocation (the act of summoning which is connected with the mission of fulfilling a specific task). The essence of the Christian vocation deriving from baptism; is a dialogue between the freedom of God and of the man, preceded by the choice of a person and commissioned by his mission. It is the sacramental marriage that is the way to connect with God, follow Christ, which is the most appropriate way for a married couple to walk to holiness. Therefore, an important message for the contemporary is to show marriage as a vocation that is addressed to two people and should be accepted and implemented by them.
