The aim of the article is to discuss the understanding of human sexuality evinced by a group of Kenyan Catholics from the methodological perspective of pastoral theology, pointing out certain conclusions and pastoral suggestions. The article comprises the following parts: theological-normative, sociological, and theological-postulating. The first synthetically presents human sexuality from the point of view of the teaching of the Catholic Church, the second discusses methodology and results of the conducted empirical research, while the third presents conclusions and suggestions for pastoral care of families. The research results show that the majority of respondents shared Catholic convictions on sexuality. However, less than half of the respondents believed that love of a man and a woman serves to transmit life to children and that true love of a man and woman requires an indissoluble marriage. A quite high percentage of respondents did not agree that sexual intercourse aims to forge a psychological and spiritual bond between the partners. Women more rarely than men shared Catholic convictions on human sexuality and more rarely than men believed that a human being should not be used as if he/ she was an object. This may show women’s lack of access to education as well as a strong impact of local traditional cultural models on their understanding of the role of women. These results point to some missionary-pastoral challenges, especially as regards education of youth, spouses, and spouses-to-be, as well as that of clergy, catechists, and lay employees of family ministry.

The aim of this article is to answer the question about the purpose of the church marriage. For Catholics who are mature in faith and love it is obvious that church marriage sets them on a new path which is a covenant that they make for the whole of their life. The fulfillment of the goals of marriage such as: mutual love, striving for perfection and holiness, transmission of life and the education of children by setting a personal example is possible only after church marriage. In the face of various internal and external threats to the marriage and parental bond the assistance of divine grace is indispensable. Numerous negative consequences of “playing at love” which become manifest in sexual intercourse outside the context of marriage and the begetting of children outside the context of the family as well as the phenomenon of concubinages reveal the need for intensifying educational activities. This pertains first of all to religious education in the aspect of sacramentology, liturgics, morality and preparation to life in marriage and the family, education to love and responsible parenthood.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czemu służy ślub kościelny. Dla dojrzałych w wierze i miłości katolików zrozumiałe jest, że rozpoczyna on nową małżeńską drogę, będąc przymierzem zawartym na całe życie. Realizacja celów małżeństwa takich, jak: wzajemna miłość, doskonalenie się i uświęcenie, przekazywanie życia i wychowanie dzieci poprzez własny przykład w pełni możliwa jest po ślubie kościelnym. Wobec wielu wewnętrznych i zewnętrznych zagrożeń więzi małżeńskiej i rodzicielskiej nieodzowna jest pomoc łaski Bożej. Liczne negatywne następstwa „zabawy w miłość” wyrażającej się we współżyciu seksualnym poza kontekstem małżeństwa i płodzeniu dzieci poza kontekstem rodziny oraz zjawisko konkubinatów ujawniają potrzebę zintensyfikowania działań wychowawczych. Dotyczy to zwłaszcza wychowania religijnego w aspekcie sakramentologii, liturgiki, moralności, a także przygotowania do życia w małżeństwie i rodzinie, wychowania do miłości i odpowiedzialnego rodzicielstwa.
