Summary/Abstract: Assuming that marriage, as an institution, relationship and the specific perception of unity, has a special place both in The Old and in The New Testament, we consider that it is important to emphasize the theological position of marriage in and out of the Church. Starting from textual metaphor and poetics, through systematic theology, ecclesiology and pastoral theology, marriage has an important place in the legal, biological, social and spiritual realm. Today, when the marital union, especially in the biblical sense, is threatened we emphasize the vital necessity of theological reflection of marriage, which represents active soteriological segment of existence as well as practical form of expression of faith, crucial for the proper understanding of pastoral theology.
