Pope John Paul II clearly stated in his 1981 apostolic exhortation Familiaris consortio, that care for preparing youth for marriage and family life should be the principal pastoral mission of the Church (FC 66). This is a very important issue because the quality of this preparation will greatly determine the quality of their later married and family lives. In Poland, this preparation is achieved in three stages: further preparation, closer preparation and direct preparation. Further preparation begins in childhood within the family. The main aim is for the growing child to have positive models of both motherhood and fatherhood. Only in a family ruled by love can a child develop properly. Closer preparation is intended for youth. This sort of preparation includes Catholic teachings about the family, as well as special pre-marital courses in which knowledge of married and family life is passed on to young people. The final stage, direct preparation, is geared towards engaged couples. It begins three months before their marriage. It includes pre-marital teachings: marital law, liturgical issues, learning about natural family planning methods, individual discussions with a priest as well as all activities related to getting married. The article presents process of preparing for marriage and family life on example of diocese Płock which has introduced new solutions in this range.

The article discusses the continuous process of preparing the youth for marriage and family life, occurring in three stages: remote, proximate and immediate. Remote preparation commences already in childhood and hinges on gaining suitable knowledge and desirable attitudes towards marriage and family life. Proximate preparation covers high-school students and constitutes a kind of pre-marital catechesis, realized both in the school and parish. Immediate preparation is addressed chiefly to future married couples who are only several months from concluding marriage and establishing a family. Thorough preparation at the three stages influences not only the condition of the modern family but also future of the Church and all human beings.

Currently, when attempts are made in various ways to weaken the family unit through the promotion of so-called open relationships, divorce and through the legalisation of homosexual partnerships, it seems that care and protection of the family unit is much more of a necessity now than in the past. That is why Pope John Paul II stated in apostolic exhortation Familiaris consortio, that care for the family should be the principal pastoral mission of the Church. Everybody, especially priests and all lay people should take all opportunities and make every effort to help married couples and families in fulfilling their basic duties. The article is devoted to tasks of family pastoral care. They are: defense of human life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death; preparation for marriage and life in family; help the family and especially young married couples; family counseling; pastoral care of families that are in difficult and abnormal situations. „The Church's pastoral action must be progressive in the sense that it must follow the family, accompanying it step by step in the different stages of its formation and development” (FC 65).
