At the beginning of the twenty-first century, in the year 2001 the couple: Maria Corsini and Luigi Beltrame Quattrocchi have been beatified. Similar honor met in 2008 the parents of St. Thérèse of Lisieux – Louis Martin and Zelie Guerin. They can be entitled blessed parents and educators of a saint. Their daughter, St. Thérèse of Lisieux was beatified in 1923 and canonized in 1925. The process of education run by a married couple Martin, whose five children chose the religious life, deserves an attention. The article presents what was unique in the life of the spouses Martin and what was specific in their educational method. First of all however the short biographies of Louis Martin and Zelie Guerin have been presented followed by the detailed description of their educational method and its validity for the contemporary parents.
