Przygotowanie do małżeństwa w ujęciu Jana Pawła II i papieża Franciszka

The article compares the teaching contained in the exhortation of John Paul II entitled Familiaris consortio and the exhortation of Pope Francis entitled Amoris laetitia. The subject taken for the comparison is preparation for marriage. The analysis of both exhortations has shown that Pope Francis uses a slightly different terminology regarding the same stages of formation. Francis uses the following rich images concerning the stages of preparation for marriage: “education of love”, “maturation of love” and “superiority of love”. Francis deepens the personalistic thought of John Paul II. The analysis shows the continuity of the pastoral concept present in both examined documents.
