Formation in Marriage
and Family
‘Marriage … is the source of both
the family and the state, and the
nursery of the church.’
Luther on Marriage and Family
‘Married people … can do no better
work and do nothing more valuable
either for God, for Christendom, for all
the world, for themselves, and for their
children than to bring up their children
well. … For bringing up their children
properly is their shortest road to
heaven. In fact, heaven itself could
not be made nearer or achieved
more easily than by doing this work.’
‘In the Christian doctrine, in which,
after the doctrine of the Gospel and
faith, we teach how we should
conduct ourselves in a godly and
honorable manner in this life,
marriage is the first and chief thing;
for it is the beginning and origin of the
whole life.’
