Summary/Abstract: Everyone experiences love. It is inscribed in human life. In the light of the Church’s teaching, love is a virtue through which one can love God and others. Marital love has a special dimension because it reflects God’s love for humans. A confused experience of marital love results from a misunderstanding of its essence. Love is the basis of the unity of marriage and the values realized in it. This article presents the experience of marital love in Friends of the Bridegroom Community. The conducted research showed that attention should be paid to shaping the attitude of reciprocity in the relations of many married couples. An area that is challenging for formation is also associated with experiencing marital sexual bond. Pastoral care should embrace the maturation of marital love.
