The book in the series dedicated to Archimandrite Raphael’s answers to questions about faith and salvation touches on the topic of family life: choosing a path, relationships between spouses, raising children, relationships with immediate family.

If a person wants to enter into marriage, then he must find a life friend. The word "friend" means "another self." Without spiritual kinship and common interests, a person will not get rid of the feeling of loneliness.

Moreover, it is easier to endure the sadness of loneliness alone with oneself than aggressive loneliness in a family that becomes alien, loneliness from accumulated contradictions.
