I loved reading this article (click on the picture) by Justin Taylor! It's about Martin Luther's marriage. (Luther is the guy who wrote the 95 Thesis inspired the Protestant Reformation.) The article is definitely worth reading and gives such an interesting perspective on marriage. It's actually the kind of marriage that I would want. One of my favorite snippets from the article is this: "Martin and Katie viewed marriage as a school for growing in godliness. Both of them took God seriously; and both knew how to correct the other when one of them was ignoring God and taking life too seriously. One day Luther was depressed and despairing. So Katie decided to put on a black dress for the day. Luther asked, "Are you going to a funeral?" "No," she responded, "but since you act as though God is dead, I wanted to join you in the mourning!" Exactly what Luther needed to hear. "Also, the author of the article runs a blog called Between Two Worlds: A Mix of Theology, Philosophy, Politics & Culture. Check it out! It has lots of great information on everything from politics to marriage from a Christian perspective.
