Sažetak

This article discusses the issues of “myths” of family and
partnership violence and their “demythologization”. It also gives a
scientific verification of numerous convictions, propositions and
teachings about violence, explaining the theological justification of
co-existence of love and violence in a partnership relation.
For the first time, in this paper we present the results of the
research on the myths about family violence, carried out by the
Franciscan Institute for the Culture of Peace carried out on the
general population in the Republic of Croatia, at the end of 2005.
According to this research, a great majority of the examinees
support the myth that love and violence can’t go together. In
support of that myth there are no statistically relevant differences
regarding sex, education, age and religiosity. The differences that
appear show a tendency that women, the young, higher educated
and atheists are more inclined to support this opinion. Statistically
relevant difference which appears is related only to region. In a
greater number than in other regions, this myth is supported by
the inhabitants of Istria and Primorje. For the explanation of these
differences, further researches are needed.
Various researches indicate that in a partnership-relation love
and violence can co-exist, and that partners, when explaining this
paradox, use cultural as well as Christian contents, especially the
Cross of Jesus Christ. Having this in mind, in the third part of the
article, on the basis of the theology of inheritance of Jesus’ Cross
and suffering by Jürgen Moltmann, we rethink and question the
justification of this explanation.
