The 20th century and the beginning of a new millenium are for the family a time of huge conversion concerning both fulfilment of its basic functions and forms of coexistence on its own ground. Leaving the patriarchal model of fundamental roles towards partnership among spouses, parents and children occurs as an essential symptom of changes which relate to this social group. These changes exist in the awareness of rights and duties of its members, the issue of the equality of women in the right of taking up a job beyond home, pro-creative family functions in moving the pressure from its institutional to personal forms. The present article is trying to find a suitable answer for the question of reasons, ways and conditions of realization of the partner family model and concerning the dangers.
