De uniciteit van het huwelijk. Over christelijke volharding in een landschap van veranderende partnerrelaties

Samenvatting

This article reaffirms the classic definition of marriage as the biblically founded prototypical relation between a man and a woman. It briefly reviews the radical shifts in in the understanding and practices of sexual relationships within western culture and - to an increasing extent- also in the circles of orthodox (reformed) Protestantism. A response to the growing tension between affirmed principles and lived practices, requires combining clarity with cordiality and orthodoxy with hospitality.
