摘要：This contribution deals with the divorce theme, from the aspect of analysis of thoughts and attitudes about this topic of those people in Croatia who are currently married or have the experience of married and family life. The main analysis refers to the quality of the influence of awareness of Christian identity of these people on their attitudes and thoughts about the issue of divorce. This contribution also gives the first results of the scientific research project “Christian Identity and Quality of Married and Family Life”, carried out by a team of co authors of the Catholic Theological Faculty of Đakovo, the University Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Osijek on the sample of 1200 persons in Croatia. The aim of the project was to investigate whether religiosity in general and Christian faith of the spouses influence, in which way and to what extent, on the life in marriage and family, and on their attitudes about some topics of married and family life. The work presents the research results referring to the examinees’ opinions and attitudes about the issue of divorce in general, as well as about the possibility of entering a new biological community. The contribution also respects the results of the past researches, carried out in Croatia, as well as their cognitions, because those researches have also touched, at least fragmentarily, the issue of divorce. On the basis of these cognitions the starting premises of this research were formulated, which has been presented in this contribution. They referred to the examinees’ perception of the most frequent reasons for divorce, of the examinees’ attitudes regarding the phenomenon of divorce in general, of the most appropriate solution for the future life of the persons who have experienced divorce, and also of the insufficient influence of Christian consciousness on the examinees’ attitudes about divorce. On the basis of the obtained research results and the attempt of the pastoral- theological reflection about them, our starting premises will prove to have been greatly justified.
