“Marriage is a civic matter. It is really not, together with all its circumstances, the business of the church. It is so only when a matter of conscience is involved.” —Martin Luther
I don’t think he ever imagined that some future Godless civil state would come up with something like ‘gay marriage,’ but that’s exactly what eventually happened. Same thing with easy civil divorce and remarriage.
