A deeper reflection over marriage is included in the two first chapters of the Book of Genesis, which are fundamental for teaching of the Catholic Church about marriage. According to this book first base of a marital unity is a special position of a human being created by God in the world, completely unlike others creatures. A man is created as God’s image, that means a human being has his own dignity.
