This thesis defense deals with contemporary crisis of marriage and family. Crisis greatly affects stability of marriage and family, and in often cases leads to breakdown of marriage. Divorces are the most persistent and increasingly frequent cases. In addition, there are many other forms of so-called "irregular" situations that young people are increasingly practicing: civil marriage, free relationship, extramarital living and similar. Also, globalization and secularization contribute a lot to the crisis of marriage and the family. Mass media, internet and audiovisual content that support the faster spread of secularization have a great influence too. Through all three chapters the state of marriage and family crisis extends. Crisis situations are increasing today, and regular pastoral care has enough space to take care of certain categories of believers. Aim of this graduate thesis is to point out the importance of pastoral care of marriage and family, especially when it comes to serious crisis situations.This thesis tried to present the solutions that pastoral offers for marriages and families who are in difficult and special pastoral situations.
