LaHaye, LaHaye, and Falwell made patriarchy the heart of evangelical politics by the 1980s

Evidence

Phyllis Schlafly had helped piece together this interlocking set of priorities, but by the 1970s, evangelicals themselves came to play a critical role in defining family values politics. By the early 1980s, Tim LaHaye, Beverly LaHaye, and Jerry Falwell had established themselves as architects of the Religious Right. Together, they ensured that the enforcement of patriarchal authority, in all its facets, would occupy the heart of evangelical politics for decades to come. — Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne, 203
