Piękno miłości małżeńskiej w świetle Amoris laetitia
The beauty of conjugal love in light of Amoris laetitia

Summary/Abstract: The present study presents the theme of the beauty of conjugal love on the basis of the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis Amoris laetitia. We note that modern secularized world distorts the notion of love, leading to serious disruptions in the functioning of marriage and the family. Pope Francis strives above all to show the positive side of conjugal love. Spouses in everyday simple and ordinary gestures reveal the love that Christ loves his Church. Love is born of a look at the other person, which provokes admiration and taste in the precious value of another person. Love lets you see a loved one as a person. Joy of love renews and grows after a shared experience of suffering, effort and struggle. The common married way is to go through the various stages of the development of love that require „generous gift of self” (AL 220). Pope Francis reminds us that love needs time that the spouses must find at their disposal. Love grows in spite of limitations and imperfections through sacrificial effort and sacrifice. Young people should dare to conclude an inseparable marriage that provides protection and a tool for the development of love. Conjugal love is also characterized by feelings of pleasure and sexual passion. Pope Francis in teaching about the importance of human sexuality goes behind St. John Paul II, his predecessor. The church rejects sexual and erotic perversion but does not disregard sexuality itself nor disdains it. Marriage crisis are part of the dramatic beauty of conjugal love. The Church through priests and prepared persons can spiritually accompany the spouses in crisis so that they find and renew the original love that has brought them into a single union.
