The author is a synthesis of Benedict XVI’s teaching of marital love and his care for its proper development. The Pope has stressed many times that love is the greatest gift from God. Unfortunately, today the world rejects the biblical image of love. Marital love is threatened by secularism promoting relativism, divorces, homosexual relationships, contraception, abortion, pornography and prostitution. Today’s liberal understanding of love is reduced to the sphere of eros and is deprived of its spiritual dimension. The Pope calls marital love the way of holiness that leads to a full and integral human and Christian development. It is the way of mutual care, the way of the sacraments and prayer and the way of work understood as a profession and involvement in domestic af airs .

Marriage as a sacrament of mission contributes to the spouses' personal salvation and to the care for the salvation of others. The mission of marriage results from the sacramental and salutary character of this community. Recognition of the sacramental character of marriage is connected with the salutary message that is the basic contents of evangelization. The essence of the sacrament of marriage is transmitted by the historic-salutary character of the marital covenant referring to the biblical idea of covenant. The communal character of marriage is expressed in the concept of communio personarum. God's love is the source of the unity of marital community, as human love is included in the supernatural love of the Holy Trinity. Marriage and family as a subject of evangelization, serving a new life, aims at a full develop¬ment and salvation of its members. Moreover, their responsibility for the Church is connected with participation in the evangelizing mission towards the world.
