Family is a social group whose members are bound by legal, biological, or emotional ties, or a combination of those. Here members of a family gather for a photo.
Here is an example of a nuclear family. A nuclear family is the traditional familial form: one mother, one father, and their biological children.
Here are two people in a monogamous relationship, meaning they are only seeing each other. Monogamy is the practice of being married to only one person at a time.
The emotional work we invest into supporting family members is called an expressive task. They are not necessary, but they add value to the relationship(s). Things like playing with your children, or getting flowers on Valentines day.
Exogamy refers to a marriage to someone from a different social group. A Husband with a strong hispanic background, and a Wife born and raised in California.
