Marriage
1920 The Northwestern Lutheran
Before You Get Engaged
Before you get engaged, dear girl, are you confident that the young fellow would be to you a life companion dearer than life, with a love stronger than death, and that your marriage would have upon it the blessing of the Christ of Cana?
1927 The Concordia Cyclopedia
Birth Control
The Bible very emphatically does not sanction movements of this kind. One of the objects of marriage is the procreation of children, and this cannot be set aside by whim or selfishness. Christians must become more and more conscious of the grandeur and prerogative of marriage and of offspring in marriage.
1924 John H. C. Fritz Walther League Messenger
The Ideal Husband
Read again slowly and carefully the words of Paul. According to these words, the ideal husband is the Christian husband. The ideal husband is the man who knows his place in the home, loves his wife, keeps her, and cleaves unto her.
1925 John H. C. Fritz Walther League Messenger
The Ideal Wife
When a Christian young man has such a wife for his spouse, namely, a Christian, home-loving young woman, he will live with her and with their children in a blessed and happy home, and marriage then will be what the Lord intended that it should be.
1923 Walter A. Maier Walther League Messenger
The Christian and His Home
If the story of the Cross of Jesus finds an abiding place in any home, that family is indeed blessed and endowed with the power that makes this life of ours really worth living. Such a home will have Christ the Glory of time, the Crown of eternity.
