Believing families need to have a good testimony of the way that they care for and help their children - especially their daughters. Sons and daughters are different therefore their basic care should be suited to them. There are also special reasons for care for the daughters that families should make. If the daughters' needs are not properly met in the family, the family gradually becomes more and more dysfunctional.
