| The Nuclear Family | ||||||||
| The nuclear family is a kin group consisting of a married couple and their unmarried children. This kin group is widespread in human societies. However, a nuclear family only lasts as long as the parents and children remain together. Most people belong to at least two nuclear families in their lives � the family of orientation, the family in which one is born and grows up in, and the family of procreation, formed when one marries and has children. | ||||||||
