Martin Luther wanted clergy to marry because he thought that it was not disrespecting god to marry, and since he fell in love with Katharina von Bora, he wanted to marry her, but it was unacceptable to marry in the Catholic Church. When he formed Lutheranism, he made it ok for clergy to marry.
Katharina von Bora was the former nun who married Martin Luther in 1525. Katharina is considered a major participant in the Reformation movement, because of the part she played in defining family life for Protestants.

In January 1521, the Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther. He was then summoned to appear at the Diet of Worms, an assembly of the Holy Roman Empire. He refused to recant and Emperor Charles V declared him an outlaw and a heretic. Luther went into hiding at Wartburg Castle. In 1522, he returned to Wittenberg and in 1525 married Katharina von Bora, a former nun, with whom he had six children.
