Današnje je suvremeno društvo usmjereno prema znanju, sreći i uspjehu. Sve se manje važnosti pridaje duhovnoj dimenziji čovjeka stoga postoji potreba potaknuti kod roditelja volju i želju da što više usmjeravaju svoju djecu prema usvajanju moralnih kršćanskih vrijednosti i kršćanske vjere kao veoma bitne za dobar, kvalitetan i ispunjen život. Često se spominje da je obitelj danas u krizi iako je prema brojnim istraživanjima ona na vrhu ljestvice vrednota. Potrebno je dakle uvidjeti gdje to griješimo u odgoju i zašto je obitelj u krizi. Jedan od mogućih razloga je i pogrešan način odgoja koji je više usmjeren prema znanju i sreći a manje prema moralnom i duhovnom razvoju čovjeka. Ovim smo radom pokušali dotaknuti problem važnosti moralnog i vjerskog odgoja djece unutar kršćanskih obitelji. Rezultati istraživanja provedenih u radu pokazuju da kršćanski roditelji nastoje odgajati svoju djecu u vjeri te im je stalo do toga da njihova djeca prihvate vjeru kao dio života ali da ne čine dovoljno kako bi to postigli. Isto tako, treba reći da današnji roditelji nastoje naći ravnotežu između zahtjeva suvremenog svijeta koji donosi svoje novosti s jedne strane i želje da svoju djecu odgoje kao odgovorne, moralne i vjerski usmjerene osobe s druge.

Today's modern society is more directed on knowledge, happiness and success and less importance is attached to the spiritual dimension of man. Therefore there is a need to encourage parents to have the will and desire to turn their children more towards the acceptance of moral Christian values and Christian faith as essential for a good, quality and fulfilled life. It is often mentioned that the family is in crisis. Although, according to numerous research family is at the top of the scale of values. Therefore, we considered it necessary to find out what are we doing wrong in raising our children and why the family is in crisis. One of the possible reason is the wrong way of upbringing children that is more focused on knowledge and happiness and less toward the moral and spiritual development of man. With this work we tried to touch the problem of the importance of moral and religious upbringing of children within Christian families. The results of research, conducted in the work shows that Christian parents are trying to raise their children in faith and care about their children accepting their faith as a part of life. But not doing enough to achieve it. Likewise, it should be said that today's parents are trying to find a balance between the demands of the contemporary world that brings new things on the one hand, and the desire to raise their children as responsible, moral and religious people on the other.
