An exchange between Martin Luther and his wife Katharina:
“Once, when Martin was so depressed that none of Kate’s counsel would help, she put on a black dress.
Luther noticed it and asked, ‘Are you going to a funeral?’
‘No,’ Kate replied, ‘but since you act like God is dead, I wanted to join you in your mourning.’
Luther got the message and recovered.”
—Rudolf K. Markwald and Marilynn Morris Markwald, Katharina Von Bora: A Reformation Life (Saint Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 2002), 139-140.A godly wife is such a blessing when it comes to a man who can be "moody" (right dear). This little story has always been one of my favorites concerning Luther and his wife .

She was a cool woman. Glad you shared this story because I just noticed that the only one in your profile is you and two of your buddies. I was afraid that something was up. Get your profile completed, Dear. Love you, Mrs Reg
