Since dads go to work and moms stay at home, dads have to delegate responsibility to moms. Husbands should install telephone answering machines so moms won't be pestered by annoying daytime phone calls. Your wife will be so impressed, you can coast for the rest of the night. Farris continued his litany, all to the effect that moms and dads have rigidly different roles to play in parenting. Moms should be more influential with babies and young kids.
Dads are the ones responsible for preparing children for careers, marriage, and political activism.
Here things got interesting. Farris explained that children, even teenagers, should not be allowed any boy-girl relationships until they are mature enough to consider marriage. To let kids have seemingly harmless friendships with the opposite sex is to encourage teenage sexuality and all the heartbreak that follows. Farris allows no dating, only courtship. Courtship must be strictly supervised by both sets of parents and allowed only between fellow believers who are also physically attractive to each other.
