Line 37:
In addition to adherence to the Bible and their idea of Christian ideals, the IBLP considers men, in particular the patriarch of a family, to be [[Biblical patriarchy|superior]], whereas women are expected to be more submissive to the head of the house, whether that be their father or husband. This includes in the home, school, workplace, and marriage. Women are raised to learn how to become good wives and mothers, and to raise children according to IBLP principles. A woman's husband is chosen by a woman's father, and couples are matched after a complex courtship overseen by both sets of parents. Women are discouraged from flirting or encouraging affection from men their age because of this system. Women are also discouraged from seeking higher education as their role is in the home.<ref name="Chicago" />
The consumption of media, such as television, movies, most music, and the internet, is limited due to concern about immoral content or content that doesn't align with their religious beliefs, though
Women are expected to wear dresses or skirts that are knee-length at a minimum, and wear loose fitting, opaque shirts and blouses and the presence of text printed onto dresses is not allowed, as it is thought to bring attention to the body. Men are expected to wear dark suits and white shirts, as blue jeans are seen as ungodly. Men are also expected to be circumcised, as being uncircumcised is seen as being un-pure.<ref name="Chicago" />
