Abstract

The relationship is an essential part of husband and wife. This bond between spouses is the basis of their intimacy. This study investigates the nature of the interrelationship in the institution of marriage. It highlights the concept of belonging as the foundational principle of marriage through a hermeneutical philosophical examination. The key findings of this article state that matrimony is an institutionalization between a man and a woman. The conjugal union is essentially natural and directed by moral virtues. Married partners formalize the activity through sacramental communion. Such integration entails a lifelong commitment to fidelity. Consequently, dissolution of this accord occurs due to the death of one of the spouses or the loss of the qualities that unite the couple. In addition, the sacrament of marriage serves as a representation of the couple’s presence before society. However, biological intimacy is an essential component of marriage. The sacrament of marriage, then, serves to prevent sexual pleasure beyond the binding of marriage. The principles of the nature and sacredness of marriage should guide sexual intimacy in the family. This research suggests that consensual non-monogamy is incompatible with the essence of marriage as it goes against the purpose and unity of the couples. The article emphasizes the importance of interpreting marriage as a divine relationship rooted in mutual belonging, moral excellence, and devotion.

Abstract

Today, democracy is considered a political system that is believed by many people in the world to be the best for achieving national goals. In its development, democracy is no longer limited to a form of government but has become a value that exists in modern society. Democracy contains two main values, namely the values of freedom and equality. The purpose of this study is to find the essence of the birth of the concept of democracy, its characteristics and functions using the semiotic interpretation method. This study produces the answer that democracy was born from human responses to the fact of living together that if humans in living together are not regulated, they will not achieve their individual activities, and living together is regulated within the framework of democracy. This study also found the answer that democracy has historical, spiritual, dynamic, and normative characteristics, in addition democracy has a hermeneutical function and an ethical function.Keywords: value of freedom, value of equality, contextual democracy, local democracy, doctrinal democracy
