Well written and reasoned article, biblically coherent and Christian.

Respectfully, I have a beef with the author about the disproportionate discussion of the mother-child relationship, as if the father-child relationship does not exist or is considerably less significant. Nothing could be further from the truth. (I'm not saying that the author doesn't know or believe this; I'm simply saying it should have been mentioned more explicitly and more often.) A child needs its father every bit as much as a mother. In our debased culture, even more so is the father needed. Many fathers are not in the home or life of their children, and this is tragic (we see the evidence of societal destruction all around us because of this), and equally tragic is that so few are speaking of the importance of fathers in the home caring for their children in the way God intended.

All that to say, an updated version of this article is needed and should include the mention of father in equal proportion to the number of times the mother-child relationship is mentioned.
