Marriage values and their significance in gender theory

Paulina Zalewska

Abstract

Nowadays, public debates often deal with such subjects as gender and sexuality. The main aim of the dissertation is to show how gender ideology refers to the basic marriage values and what consequences it may bring to society, husband and wife. Article at the beginning reminds what marriage is and its basic attributes such as love, sexuality, fertility and indissolubility. Then we get to know the definitions of gender. According to genderists, gender is only a social construct, which has nothing to do with biological sex. Therefore, it may be shaped freely during lifetime. The last part of the article includes a confrontation of gender with fundamental marriage values. This allows to notice how gender refers to marriage and what its approach to the value of marriage is. It also shows which principles gender professes and the consequences it may have for future generations.
