Words of Martin Luther,
“Love begins when we wish to serve others." There is no better school for humility and for loving sacrificial service than marriage and parenthood.
Luther had a high regard for the ability of women to shape society by molding its youth and civilizing its men through the institution of marriage.
Martin Luther was a leading defender of the dignity of women and the foundational importance of marriage. Luther placed the home "at the center of the universe."
Luther urged parents to always discipline their children with forethought and caution, taking into account the unique personality of each. He taught that: "no power on earth is so noble and so great as that of parents."
"Martin Luther, the German Reformer, is generally remembered as the theological professor, the Bible translator, the writer, even as the composer of hymns. However, Martin Luther was also a husband and a father of six children. He provided the church its first and most prominent example of a pastoral family."
