Addictions and violence do not bypass sacramental marriages, which, according to the Catholic faith, continue until death. However, it is possible to reconcile psychological, therapeutic recommendations with those of a spiritual nature – which is perfectly illustrated by the activities of many Catholic sobriety ministries. The questions raised by the considerations undertaken here are: What areas – from a spiritual perspective – are worth/should be saved in sacramental marriages affected by addiction and/or violence, both at the stage of living together and at the stage of living apart? How should this be done? What are the costs of such rescue? And ultimately: why rescue?}, doi = {10.4467/25443283SYM.22.022.17390}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/sympozjum/article/ratowanie-malzenstw-sakramentalnych-z-problemem-uzaleznienia-i-lub-przemocy-zyjacych-razem-i-w-separacji-perspektywa-duchowa} }
