Sažetak
The article’s starting point are results that have been obtained in the international project European Values Study – Europsko istraživanje vrednota in which the Republic of Croatia has been included through the Catholic Faculty of Theology of the University of Zagreb since 1998. The director of the project in the Republic of Croatia is the pastoral theologian Prof. Josip Baloban, PhD, the Head of the Department for Pastoral Theology at the Catholic Faculty of Theology of the University of Zagreb. The first chapter of this article presents shortly the international project European Values Study, its importance for the Republic of Croatia and for the Catholic Faculty of Theology of the University of Zagreb. The second chapter offers a comparison of and a reflection on replies of participants – Croatian participants and participants from other European countries – to the question: Marriage is an obsolete institution: I agree, I disagree, I do not know, no reply. In European Values Study – Europsko istraživanje vrednota in 2008 the most important values for the successfulness of marriage were: fidelity, readiness to discuss problems that appear between a husband and a wife, and children, and the values agreement in politics, same social background, and same religious convictions were judged as unimportant for the successfulness of marriage. This is the topic of the third chapter. Through an analysis of results obtained in the international project European Values Study – Europsko istraživanje vrednota in 2008, the end of the article offers a few conclusions, especially from the pastoral-theological perspective. Obtained results sketch the ecclesial and social reality in relation to the perception of values important for the successfulness of marriage. This perception is an excellent starting point for reflection on the pastoral of marriage and family in the Republic of Croatia.
