Yes I agree and I did mention that in my post that studies have shown the value of both parents. But I think as the mother has the child and there is an important maternity relationship and bonding that it is almost common sense to realize that the mother child relationship is important. It does relate to the OP as the OP is more or less premising not only a womensplace in the church but this is based on the general view of a womens place in society. The church usually follows secular societies views so that is why it has become an issue in recent decades.I think if you reread the article you will see that the study did not compare time with mothers vs. fathers, and was only focused on time with mothers. Only a broad study that compared time with mothers and time with fathers could lead to the conclusion you draw. Also, I’m guessing you would not say that a child raised by two women would be better off than a child raised by a woman and a man. This indicates that there is value in time spent with a father as well.
