Pastoral accompaniment of spouses in responsible parenthood is one of the important tasks of this salvific activity of the Church. Spouses invited by God to pursue their parental vocation await the support of pastors. This support is realized by priests through the preaching of the word of God, parish family counseling, the ministry of spiritual direction and prayer support, or in the process of pedagogy. Surveys among presbyters have shown that a high percentage of priests declare their willingness to accompany their spouses in the work of responsible parenthood. More often than not, priests from the age of 36 years of age, who have more experience in ministering to married couples, consider it this way. The challenge of pastoral support for spouses in responsible parenthood is faced by younger priests up to 35 years of age.
