To be fair, Martin Luther was excommunicated about 3 years before meeting his future wife because he wouldn’t recant his 95 Theses, which in part was a confrontation of the RCC selling indulgences. If he felt led away from God by the church, and it was the church that influenced his needing to make his celebacy vow, then I can understand why he would believe that God wouldn’t necessarily have wanted him to make the vow.

You obviously don’t understand what a vow means.

Nice rationalization thou.
