| | | Luther on Marriage
I thought those of you who are blessed to be married might enjoy these:
"Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave. "
"The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay. "
"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. "
"I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict Scripture."  
-Martin Luther

"Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away." | | The Following User Says Thank You to ServantofGod For This Useful Post: | |

-Martin Luther | More on Marriage From Luthers Table Talk: Quote: |
To get a wife is easy enough, but to love her with constancy is difficult, and he who can do that may well be grateful to our Lord God. Therefore if any one wants to marry a wife, let him take the matter seriously and pray to our Lord God: "O Lord, if it is Thy divine will that I should live without a wife. then help me to do so! If not, bestow upon me a good pious maid, with whom I can live my whole life long, one whom I love and who loves me." For the mere union of the flesh is not sufficient. There must be congeniality of tastes and character.
