Marriage and family life hold a sacred place within Orthodox theology, viewed as a reflection of divine love. Maria Theodosakis discusses the Orthodox understanding of family as a ‘domestic church’ where virtues like patience, love, and humility are nurtured.

Theodosakis highlights how the teachings of the Church encourage families to foster a home environment that mirrors the love and grace found in Orthodox liturgy
