  Every family seeks encouragement for their spiritual and sociological growth. This article brings research among 30 members of the Agnus Dei family community. We explored the impact of the biblical text, in particular, the Gospel of Mark on married couples who encounter daily difficulties in raising children, but also in the personal upbringing of adults. The researcher of this article was inspired by the characters of the holy family: Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Jesus ’upbringing in Nazareth and the boy’s upbringing enabled his parents’ personal spiritual formation. That part makes up the first part of the paper. It is followed by a survey among members of the Agnus Dei family community. Research has shown that there is a great interest in God’s word. Throughout the year, attendees had the opportunity to listen to commentaries on the Gospel of Mark. In addition to certain exercises, they applied instructions to daily life. The results showed that their family community was re-formed by the word of God. They felt an improvement in interpersonal relationships in the family but also in the community. The Nazareth school actually became a stimulus for all participants in catechesis.  Biblical methods in raising a family indicate positive results.

  More radical changes can be observed when we examine the demographical characteristics of our country. On the one hand, the number of marriages has reduced since 1990 and the number of singles and divorced have increased. People get married and have children later and the number of births is reduced. In our theme, we examined the attitudes which are related to choosing a partner and having children among the youth (15-19 years old) who live in Nyíregyháza. Our data were compared with the results of the national youth research.  Our result shows a definitely pro-marriage and child-centered local, young society.  According to our results, most of the respondents prefer having two children. Only some of the respondents (5%) would not like to have a baby. Nowadays most singles imagine that they will get married in the future.
