John Chrysostom, bishop of Constantinople, in his works as one of the first Church Fathers, spoke a lot about marriage. First of all, Christian matrimony, according to his teaching, was the unity of the bodies from whom the commu­nion of two person – man and woman – follows. The unity and uniqueness were the essential features of the matrimony. Only true love, which comes from God, can build true unity of husband and wife. That’s why Chrysostom calls matri­mony „sacrament (mysterion) of love”. Greek word „mysterion” has in John Chrystosom’s works two meanings: mystery of marriage and mysterious activity of God. Because Holy God is the creator of matrimony it can be called holy and sacred
