Abstract

This article examines the influence of the Catholic church, through its lawcourts and religious practices, on the formation of the nuclear family in 17th and 18th century Spain. A traditional argument holds that the Reformation encouraged this development in Northern Europe through its emphasis on the virtues of marriage and household piety. The examination of the Spanish sources —autobiographies, moral guides, church court records— suggests the coexistence of two concerns: to maintain harmony within the kin-group and the community at large, as well as fostering the education of the future citizen through a strengthening of household piety.
