Quotes from Martin Luther about marriage and sex
"Your body demands and requires it; God wants and wills it."
"If my marriage will strengthen him [Bishop Albrecht to marry], I am ready. I believe in marriage."
"No natural man should slip out of the noose of marriage."
In his treatise “Against the So-Called Spiritual Estate of the Pope and the Bishops”: "A man cannot exist without a wife. [It is] as deeply implanted in our nature as eating and drinking. Whoever wants to repudiate this and fight what nature will and must do acts the same as one who disavows that nature is nature, that fire burns, that water is wet, and that a person eats, drinks, and sleeps."
"The irresistible will to live reveals itself in the sexual drive. It is the living God himself who moves a person’s body and soul in this direction, and it is God who supplies the gift for it. This discovery on my part emerged from the same spirit as that of Copernicus, and is scarcely less important."
