(44) At present, the problem is not limited, as in other eras, to young people being unprepared for marriage.  Due in part to a pessimistic anthropological vision that de-structures and breaks down subjectivity, many young people even doubt that it is possible to achieve real self-giving in marriage that will give rise to a faithful, fruitful and indissoluble bond.  In some cases, this view results in the rejection of the institution of marriage as an illusory reality to which only persons with very special preparation can aspire.  Hence the importance of Christian formation in a correct and realistic idea of freedom in relation to marriage as the ability to choose and direct oneself toward the good of self-giving in marriage.
