The article considers the possibilities of applying synergetics as a methodological basis for the study of family and marriage relations. Based on the analysis of scientific works of modern domestic and foreign researchers, conclusions are made about the effectiveness of synergetic analysis of social structures and processes in order to identify their state at the time of research (the degree of the system stability, the variety of factors of its development - attractors, its proximity to qualitative changes – the point of bifurcation). The synergetic methodology also makes it possible to predict the invariants of the social subsystems development. According to the authors, family and marriage relations, within the synergetic approach, are a system with a high degree of self-organization, which, however, depends on a large variety of attractors that are not directly related to it. In modern society, the family is an institution that is undergoing qualitative changes along with its other elements, which makes it possible and necessary to analyze and forecast the prospects for its development.
