Another reform that occurred during Luther's era was that clergy could be married, and Luther married Katharina von Bora in June 1525. He held his wife in very high esteem. Luther revered her and would call her "my Lord Katie."

"She was a very, very clever woman," Gutjahr told CP during the tour. "No one else could have been Luther's wife but her."

Not only was she a loyal wife but a shrewd businesswoman, capable of managing household affairs, having lived previously as a nun with limited knowledge.
