Communio amoris in relation to marriage and family comes from the theological thought of John Paul II, from the "Familiaris Consortio" exhortation. In three parts of the paper, there are presented in turn: conjugal communion of love, conjugal love as the fruit of that communion, and communio sanctorum-holiness in marriage as the realization of the communion of love. The history of the Church shows that the holiness of spouses was practiced "despite" marriage, "in" marriage and "thanks to" marriage. However, a special emphasis in this paper is placed on the third model. Communio amoris is the principle of sanctification for spouses entering into a sacramental union; it is the path to communio sanctorum.

The concept of marital communio amoris expressed in the apostolic exhortations Familiaris Consort... more The concept of marital communio amoris expressed in the apostolic exhortations Familiaris Consortio of John Paul II and Amoris Laetitia of Pope Francis is the subject of this paper. In theology, this phrase has generally been used to describe the relationship of the Divine Persons in the Trinity. The phrase communio amoris in relation to marriage and family comes from the theological thought of John Paul II. The Pope used this term several times in the exhortation. An important issue is the reference of the phrase “communion of love” to spouses entering into a sacramental union. Pope Francis, although he uses the phrase to refer to Trinitarian relationships, does not explicitly use this expression to refer to marital relationships. Communio amoris, however, can be read into the concept of marital love presented in Amoris Laetitia.

The first empirical studies have been conducted among engaged couples and repeated later amid identical couples already recognized as spouses. Theoretical context of the research was the theory of attachment. The study was focused on three dimensions of betrothal and marriage life: the quality of relationship, interpersonal communication, understanding of love.

Although theology and psychology reveal similar meaning of love, they are different approaches for both scientific disciplines. The sources of love constitute the key difference. Theology points to God as the source of love, while psychology sees love as a relationship between spouses. For theology, conjugal love is the foundation of the sacramental relationship, it is the basic and innate vocation of every human person-realized in marriage, leads to the sanctity of the spouses. Psychology, on the other hand, recognizes spousal love as a requirement for improving the quality and stability of the relationship between a man and a woman. The article evaluates marital love from the perspective of both scientific disciplines in the lives of holy spouses: Luigi and Maria Quattrocchi, and also Louis and Zelie Martin. The two parts of the article successively present theological and psychological understanding of love. While the third part of the article introduces examples of love in marriage in the life of both couples. Statements from marital and family correspondence form a real conversation between family members conducted for private, domestic reasons. The source texts of an autobiographical character confirm the presence of marital love in the lives of both couples in its theological and psychological understanding.

Reguła veritatis testum Ks. dr hab. Sławomir Bukalski, prof. US Uniwersytet Szczeciński Wstęp We wstępie niniejszego rozdziału należy mocno podkreślić, że psychologia nie zajmuje się problematyką świętości ani wskazywaniem kryteriów świętości. To stanowi domenę teologii. Psychologia rozważa natomiast problematykę religijności człowieka rozumianą najogólniej jako relacja podmiotu do przedmiotu-relacja człowieka do Boga. Ta relacja może być definiowana, opisywana, można analizować konkretne zachowania człowieka związane z nią, stany emocjonalne, aspekty poznawcze, mogą być wskazywane kryteria tej relacji, w tym i kryteria dojrzałej religijności. Obok samej relacji psychologia stara się także opisać osobę, jej strukturę osobowości, jej wiarygodność. Psychologia nie zajmuje się natomiast analizowaniem wiarygodności przedmiotu wspomnianej relacji religijnej, czyli Bogiem.

Marital dialogue and dialogue with God in the lives of saints. Luigi and Maria Quattrocchi and Louis and Zelia Martin
Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio, 2021

Both married couples were the first to be beatified and canonised in the history of the Catholic Church. The marital relationship is here approached from a psychological perspective while the relationship with God is analysed from a theological perspective. In order to study the aforementioned research problem, the author analyses letters or diaries of the saint couples and testimonies of their family members and friends. Dialogue with another human being (a spouse) and dialogue with God allowed them to pursue holiness in a consistent and conscious way.

Divine disengagement pertains to an unsteady connection and a sense of God’s absence. Although several questionnaires consider the concerns of the human experience of prayer, only one deals precisely with the subject of the human perception of divine engagement and disengagement in response to one’s prayer. The main goals of the present research were to: (1) determine the latent structure of the Brief Measure of Perceived Divine Engagement and Disengagement in Response to Prayer (PDED) in a sample set; (2) test whether the factor structure indicated by EFA matches the data and provides an equivalent goodness-of-fit index to Exline’s model; and (3) confirm that perceived divine engagement and disengagement are correlated with religious meaning, gratitude to God, and dimensions of religious centrality. The results show that the proposed two-factor str...

John Bowlby’s attachment theory suggests three attachment styles: secure, avoidant and anxious-ambivalent. Betrothal quality is here defined by understanding love and quality of communication between the betrothed. In order to verify the hypotheses, 130 betrothed couples were studied with a set of three psychological questionnaires assessing attachment styles, understanding love and communication. Analyses revealed that different attachment styles determine/affect the quality of betrothed life in terms of the aforementioned factors. The results confirm that attachment styles can be seen as predictors of betrothal quality.
