Taking up the above subject, the author attempted to show that the future spouses, accepting a number of legal and moral obligations on themselves and toward each other, should be aware of their obligations also toward the Church and the nation. This requirement, even if it is not expressed normatively, it results from the fact that both marriage and family constitute the smallest but fundamental cell of the Church and the nation, in which they are born and essentially contribute to their growth and development. So there is – we can say – a genetic and existential bond between them, which creates mutual rights and obligations.
