The Biblical Role of Fathers and Mothers in the Social Order (New Anthropology) - a podcast by Josiah Rich Ministries

God created fathers and mothers as the foundation of the social order.  After the appropriate worship of God himself no other relationship is above that of father and mother.  Fathers and mothers provide the foundation for life that children need to live healthy and balanced lives.  Certain social theorists have said that a family is just a collection of persons who have decided to live together.  This is a great lie. Many studies have followed the developemental trajectories of children who have not had the foundation of the mother-father dyad, and they are most telling and informative.  Boys from divorced homes or who have never had a father do not thrive or prosper as well as they would with a father in the home.  Girls, it is believed, do better than boys, if there is not father in the home.
