Sažetak
The author of the article set himself two main goals. The first goal was to outline, on the background of a specified definition of marriage, the fundamental changes to which the institution is currently subject (crisis of goals, privatization, divorces, concubinages, same-sex relationships). The second purpose is the presentation of problems related to the recognition of natural law, to which the proponents of traditional understanding of marriage as a union of man and woman appeal. The point of reference was the conviction of a certain relationship between the understanding of marriage and the underlying concept of natural law. Two basic concepts of natural law have been presented: Aristotelian-Thomistic and contemporary, whose consequences are indicated in the conclusions. Both concepts assume a certain understanding of human nature which, in the first case, is treated as static (the spiritual-physical structure) and, in the second case, as dynamic (intelligent freedom).
