Abstract: The article reveals problematic issues related to the individual's understanding of family responsibilities at the premarital stage. It is clarified that the concept of "understanding of future family obligations and one's responsibility for their fulfillment" reflects conscious knowledge, understanding by the individual of the meaning of the set of moral obligations of a family member to a marriage partner and family; the concept of "family man" means a person who has features necessary (important) for family life. It was found that to date there is no clear justification of the moral obligations of a family member in the scientific literature, which significantly complicates the process of their knowledge and understanding by young people at the premarital stage. It was found that the majority of young people get an understanding of the essence and list of duties of marriage partners directly in the parental family. The influence of the parental family becomes fundamental for the development of the marriage potential of the individual, the formation of the future family member, which subsequently affects the harmony of interpersonal relations in the future family. The solution to this psychological problem requires a clear scientific substantiation of the list of important responsibilities of marriage partners as a type and measure of proper behavior of participants in family relations, as well as to determine when, exactly where, by whom and how this issue will be explained to young people.
