Sažetak
The article deals with the area of Christian marriage in biblical-theological-anthropological reflections of John Paul II. The first part of the article talks about the Elohistic account of creation in which the topic of original community of man and woman from the »beginning« that is manifested in »unity in duality« (Gen 1:27 -28) is discussed. The second part of the article emphasises the Jahvistic account of creation that discusses the original experience of the human being’s loneliness and the original marital experience after the creation of woman that manifests »duality in unity« (Gen 2:18 -25). Both accounts show the human being as a relational being, whereby showing sexuality as an important determinant of the relational ability whose final goal is manifested in the marital unity and unification of man and woman. The third and fourth parts, based on Gen 3, show vulnerability of the human being’s relational ability that has been diminished by sin and its negative effects on the marital unity of man and woman. Instead of self -giving and altruistic love, in the marital unity of man and woman after sin comes about lust and ruling over. The fifth and final part discusses Christian marriage in Christological -ecclesiastical key of sacramentality of marriage through whose effect a new possibility of creation and renewal of the original harmony of man and woman is open. Due to that sacramental effect, the marital community of man and woman remains a permanent imperative of Christian anthropology.
