Luther on Nagging Wives

Since I’ll be officiating at a wedding this week, I’ve been doing a little reading on marriage. Martin Luther had some great things to say about marriage, like the following…

“If a man can have his wife in bed, he ought not complain about her incessant nagging, for ‘he who wants a fire must endure the smoke.’”

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to use this line during the wedding ceremony. But maybe the groom will read it on this blog.
