Marriage isn’t so important for them and the idea of living with one person for good isn’t very popular between young people. That’s why the number of marriages has dropped.

Of course that starting a family isn’t easy and it doesn’t mean only fun but usually at the beginning parents support and help their children because they feel responsible for them. But newlyweds should be strong enough to pass over their own problems alone because they’ll have to definitely face a lot of troubles. They will have some sunny days such as a birth of their child, success in career and many others but there’ll be some rainy ones as well. Those can come when they won’t know each other well but on the other side life can bring some unexpected situations. The main problems solved among the married couples are a jealousy, infidelity, alcoholism or drugs, violence, gambling or serious and sometimes fatal diseases and life accidents. But if partners take their marriage seriously their sunny days should overweight the rainy ones.

Another important decision solves the question whether to have children or not. Average Slovak family has two or three children. But it has started to be normal in young families to have one or no children at all. The economic situation is so bad that young people can hardly afford to pay for the basic things not to support also the baby.

But it’s a dream of every woman to have a child. Not all of us want a big family but if you have one, you can be sure that your children will never stay alone after the death of their parents. They will never feel lonely because there’s always someone around, but on the other side they’ll become more independent because they have to do many things on their own or with a little help of their parents. Children won’t be so selfish because they have to share a lot among themselves and older ones can look after the younger siblings. And from parents´ point of view they don’t have to buy so many clothes to younger children because older siblings can pass the clothes to younger ones. On the other side the big family means the big costs of living. Members of the family don’t have much privacy and it’s hard for you to find a private nook. From time to time it’s hard for parents to find a free time for their children and sometimes they don’t listen to them. And older children won’t always have the will to look after their younger siblings. Another thing is that older children sometimes can’t continue their studies at university but they have to start their jobs in young age to help their parents to support the family.
