vMarital life, which begins after marriage, provides a normal solution for the needs and strivings connected with gender. The truth is that in our times marital life has become complicated and subject to many temptations, — partly due to economic problems, as well as to the hectic pace of life in modern society, but most of all due to moral degradation. But only in marriage the gender life finds a healthy outcome. If for some reason marriage is impossible or complicated, there cannot be a healthy sexual life outside of it — everything will be a deviation from the norm, a contamination of the soul and a perversion, undermining the foundations of human personality.Life in marriage has three sides: biological, social and spiritual, and each of these sides does not just develop along with the others, but under normal conditions, they create a unity. The division between sexuality and Eros that signifies a disorder in youth does not just disappear here, but, rather, becomes a source of new energy and releases a new way of life.The apostle Paul spoke beautiful words on marriage; let us just look at their initial part. "This mystery (that is, the mystery of marriage)," says the apostle, "is great!"This "great mystery" of marriage only appears where the division between sexuality and Eros has been completely overcome. Where for some reason this division is still active or where only one side prevails, for example, the sexual one, "the great mystery" does not only reveal itself, but its meaning is also perverted, and that which is most holy and deep in people is dragged out into the mire.By the way, it is not correct to identify pure sexuality with the "animal" side in a human being: animals do not have a division between sexuality and Eros. Their nature is much more simple and primitive.
