It was all done by design (breaking up the families) to better rule over people.
It's why companies pay employees less, so moar of the family has to go out and work in order to maintain a home/property.
The moar people are busy working, the less time they have to raise a family, thus making it easier for the youth to be brainwashed however the rulers see fit instead of the parents teaching them good morals, etc.
>According to the New Testament women cannot be leaders in the church, but they can help their husbands lead. Women should concentrate their efforts in the sphere of the home, and they should concentrate in the areas of ministry and service to others. Fulfillment is knowing your assigned role and then doing it to the glory of God. May God raise up godly women who will minister to and through their husbands, young women who will minister to those in need, older women who will minister to younger women, teaching them to be godly women and wives and mothers.
