“Marriage of Protestant clergy is generally recognized as the most visible and unambiguous institutional change effected by the Reformation, and the place where its theological beliefs were most visibly put into practice. Ministry marriages and the pastor’s wife and kids sitting in the pews each Sunday were a walking, talking demonstration and reminder of Reformation truths.” — Claire Smith
