"But the greatest good in married life, that which makes all suffering and labor worth while, is that God grants offspring and commands that they be brought up to worship and serve him."

"In all the world this is the noblest and most precious work, because to God there can be nothing dearer than the salvation of souls."


"God has entrusted to its bosom souls begotten of its own body, on whom it can lavish all manner of Christian works."

"Most certainly father and mother are apostles, bishops, and priests to their children, for it is they who make them acquainted with the gospel. In short, there is no greater or nobler authority on earth than that of parents over their children... See therefore how good and great is God's work and ordinance!"


"When a father goes ahead and washes diapers or performs some other task for his child... God, with all his angels and creatures, is smiling, not because that father is washing diapers, but because he is doing so in Christian faith."
-Martin Luther
