A question about a proper relation between father and son is always important as a part of upbringing processes. The problem seems especially important nowadays, when results of education are rather far from being perfect. It requires studying sources that could help to find some rules regulating the son - father relation. One of them is the Book of Sirah, which is a part of the Old Testament. As God's revelation, the Book contains His Word, which is the truth. There are some educational hints in it, particularly fragment 3, 14-15. A very accurate analysis of this excerpt shows that son should treat his father with mercy. Such a behaviour includes the element of forgiveness of sins, that can be offered by God. Moreover, treating a father with mercy, can also help to achieve the state of peace and endure hardships. This instruction should be an inspiration to a son building his appropriate, mercy-oriented attitude to his father.

Marriage is a relationship understood as a covenant. It is a voluntary agreement of two parties, whose contracting motive is love seen as complete and mutual dedication. Marriage has its privileges and obligations. The most important of these obligations is maintaining marital fidelity and for this reason adultery means breaking up the covenant. Its most common cause is covetousness understood as incapability of controlling sex drive. Thus, adultery expresses itself not only in external actions but also in a spiritual attitude of man. Sociological research results have demonstrated that realization of theological model of marital covenant diverge from the teachings of the Catholic Church. This concerns especially the problem of fidelity. Drawbacks and deficiencies in this area require actions that aim at better realization of traditional model of marriage. From the point of view of family chaplaincy, it is necessary to strive after reviving the idea of marriage as a covenant. It can be achieved through teaching about divine origins of marriage, demonstrating all aspects of marital love and supporting spouses in maintaining mutual fidelity.

One of alarming situation at present times is vanishing sense of a shame. It is caused mainly by mass media that create models of behaving that are wiping out from human consciousness patterns which were created by past generations. Almost every nation has its own pattern of a shame. Nowadays, a phenomenon of loosing any sense of a shame can be seen especially among young people.They wear more and more often clothes exposing intimate parts of human body. In front of such situation a question is asked about a nature and causes of the shame. Is the shame something right or something wrong? Is there any sense of a shame? An answer to this question should help in a process of bringing up young people. One of sources that could be helpful in looking for an answer is the Bible. According to biblical texts, especially Gen 1-3, a shame is a form of defense of man's dignity. Sense of a shame arises from the original sin. The essence of this sin is a will to decide about what is good and what is evil. Man can not decide about that, because only God as Creator of the whole universe can decide what is good and what is evil and forbidden to a man. In spite of that man broke down the God's commandments. The proper relations between people were destroyed, instead of love appeared a desire. The main aim of a shame is to keep proper relation between people based on love instead of desire. Because of that a sense of a shame is very important for a man and should be treated as one of a main point in education.
