The Large Catechism: 6th Commandment

Marriage is an institution created by God for the enjoyment of a husband and wife, the raising of children, and the edification of society. After being married for four years, Luther teaches the honor of this commandment and clearly confesses the trauma that occurs when it is broken. May the Lord help us to uplift the union of husband and wife while providing robust, Christ-centered care when this commandment is broken. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Minot, ND, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 6th commandment. To learn more about St. Paul Lutheran, visit anchoredminot.com.
