Your Definition

* Taken from the Latin and Greek root word "patr" meaning father and the word "centric" meaning  "situated at or near the center."

* The term was specifically coined to describe the [philosophy] of [family life] promoted within some extreme Christian and Reformed homeschooling communities that teaches that God gives a "calling" in life to only men, specifically fathers, and that the purpose of the wife and children is to fulfill the father's calling.

* Those who embrace this position [believe that] it changes only when a son assumes his own household responsibilities by taking a wife or a daughter is given in marriage when she can then leave her father's home, her new purpose being to fulfill the calling of her husband.

* Though there are varying degrees of this taught within different groups, the father is sometimes described as the "prophet, priest, and king" of the home and there are other common ideals that often accompany patriocentricity, such as militant fecundity, family [integrated] church, neo-feudalism, as well as neo-agrarianism.
