Biography
Louis and Zelie Martin lived in nineteenth-century France as a Christian married couple, workers, and parents. Their home was marked by faith, responsibility, affection, and real suffering.
The Church recognizes them as holy spouses, showing that marriage and family life are concrete paths to holiness. Their family formed St. Therese of the Child Jesus, but their own lives are also a valuable witness.
They inspire couples, parents, and families to pray together, work honestly, face sorrow without losing faith, and cultivate love in small gestures.
