Courtship
1923 The Northwestern Lutheran
Whom Shall I Marry?
Our characters are insensibly moulded by those with whom we pass our time. To none does this apply so much as to married people. Husbands and wives are continually doing either good or harm to one another's souls.
1931 Carl Manthey-Zorn Northwestern Publishing House
Whereby Should a Christian Be Governed in Choosing a Spouse?
Not merely by love and attachment. Let men be guided by Proverbs 31:10-31, and women by Psalm 128.
1924 Hans Manthey Zorn The Lutheran Witness
Courtship and Marriage: Conduct of the Betrothed and Newly Married
The rearing of a family, the raising of children, is the proper function of the holy estate of matrimony. There the purity of the nation is preserved. There is the blessing of God.
1924 Hans Manthey Zorn The Lutheran Witness
Courtship and Marriage: Qualifications of a Future Helpmeet
The one great qualification which a Christian should look for is the fear of God. And your future spouse should be one heart and one soul with you in your true Lutheran faith.
1924 Hans Manthey Zorn The Lutheran Witness
Courtship and Marriage: The Fear of God
Should not a Christian always walk in the fear of God? Should not a Christian therefore also begin his courtship and enter the state of matrimony in the fear of God?
