The paper presents an outline of the personalistic concept of marriage and sexuality proposed by the eminent 20th century thinker Karol Wojtyła. As a philosopher, he contributed to progress in the area of sexuality when he, in accordance with personalist principles, characterized marital sexuality as two people giving mutually in love (not excluding openness to procreation of life), wherein he challenged the earlier views of his predecessors who viewed marriage as an institution established above all for the procreation of children. In the paper, the essential lines of Wojtyła thinking about humans, sexuality, love and marriage are presented offering an alternative to the contemporary attitude towards depersonalised sexuality as an instrument for achieving pleasure. Wojtyła’s thoughts offer the possibility of once again experiencing astonishment over the beauty and depth of marital sexuality, the expression of which is selfgiving and unifying love.
