this article I take up the four most important problems that marriages in the Old Testament grappled with: polygamy, or marrying multiple spouses, lack of offspring, infidelity, or betrayal, and divorce. It is only against this issues that the profound novum of Catholic teaching on marriage emerges. The proposal will be that problems afflicting couples of biblical time are not so different from the ones besetting contemporary couples.
PL
W kontekście żywo dyskutowanej encykliki papieża Franciszka o małżeństwie Amoris laetitia w artykule podejmuję cztery najistotniejsze problemy, z jakim borykały się małżeństwa w Starym Testamencie: poligamia, brak potomstwa, niewierność czy zdrada oraz rozwód. Właśnie w tym kontekście ukazuje się w pełni specyfika katolickiego nauczania o matrymonium. Proponowana teza mówi, że problemy dotykające małżonków opisanych na kartach Biblii nie są odległe od tych, z którymi mierzą się dzisiejsze pary.
