Summary/Abstract: The love of a man and a woman represents bonum. In their mutual love as actus humanus they realize their humanity. “You” and “me” are two liberties that meet each other in the reunion with the other. Emergency is being practiced here because of transcending pure materialistic area and the self because of love. It is an act of quality which enlightens and represents the entelechy of the human being. The married couple is being pneumatically lifted towards koinonia as God himself lives it in his trinity. The way to understand marriage as a personal koinonial communion communitas consortium was very long. The natural marriage is being transformed by Christ to a sacrament and personally enflamed by the couple. The real and symbolical representing of koinonia in the sacrament of marriage bears in itself the character of the covenant. As the act of creation cannot be understood as only creatio originans but on the base of temporal and space aspects is considered to be creatio contiuna that goes on, in the same understanding the sacrament of marriage cannot be reduced to a single act of consensus but is being realized in life in koinonia with eschatological elements. In Amoris Laetitia Francis wants to show us a fulfilled and positive aspects of love, its ways of koinonia. It also deals with couples in crisis, because they too can live authentic koinonia.
