The greatest gift of their common family life are children and the marriage offer. "I think it is the greatest gift for us both because it is the greatest joy, what a person can experience," said the First Lady.

As she says "it is difficult to help everyone. With the partners of the foundation I do everything that I can to contribute to a better life of groups of people through my foundation’s projects." The First Lady told that in the future she will continue helping others. "I prefer to praise with acts, deeds, less by talking about it, but I want to help many groups of people. That are especially handicapped children, I assist the health care and battered women," said Silvia Gašparovičová.
