THE BEAUTY AND REQUIREMENTS OF MARITAL LOVE IN THE TEACHING OF JOHN PAUL II

Summary/Abstract: The experience of love is one of the basic human experiences that make him happy and fulfilled. Every person is looking for love, wants to be given it and give it. However, he often encounters difficulties in learning the truth about what love is, contenting himself with its substitutes, false understanding, reducing it only to feeling and even selfishness. Meanwhile, the truth about love shows that love is beautiful, gives a person happiness, allows him to develop when it makes demands. This applies in particular to conjugal love, which is to safeguard the permanence and indissolubility of marriage, being together for the rest of one's life, and responsibility for handing over life to children. Christ showed us the truth about the beauty and demands of love, and the spouses of Nazareth — Mary and Joseph — were fully realized. In the article, the Author shows this truth about beauty, toil and requirements of love by analyzing the teachings of John Paul II, directed especially to young people and spouses, in which he shows that love is beautiful precisely by setting requirements, and these requirements first they are aimed at a loving person. Love is unconditional and you love another person not because of what they can give, but because of the value of the person himself. Such unconditional, demanding and thus beautiful love also protects the dignity of man – the one who is loved and the one who loves.
