Socially, Luther allows clergy to marry – he marries former nun Katharina von Bora

While Protestants said marriage was not a sacrament, the wife was still to be cheerfully obedient to her husband

Page 31: The Reformation. Modern Devotion Religious movement of late 15 th century Low Countries Advocates more individualist approach toward religion Influences.

Since it was believed that spouses should support each other and marriage was created by God, a bad marriage threatened the souls of the individuals and the community – therefore divorce would be allowed

Unlike the Catholic Church
