From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Other arrangements

Hello i would like to know what other different types of family forms there are. Especially the term for when a person lives in the same house as a partner and live as man and wife but do not feel the need to get married. Also the term used for when friends live together, thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.71 (talk • contribs) 11:44, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

See common-law marriage and cohabitation. —Viriditas | Talk 11:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paragraph moved from article

I think the following paragraph is interested, but unsupported. Please add citations if it is to be included with the article.

In some of these cultures, the nuclear family model is often regarded as anti-traditional family, or as a lever against economic advancement of people who live within the older, broader family model.^{[citation needed]} This social conflict has been particularly apparent during periods of American history among various ethno-cultural groups that have avoided using the prevailing Anglo-Dutch nuclear family model.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] consanguineous family??

You can't define a term based on its synonym if its synonym isn't defined. consanguineous family does not have an article, and is not defined anywhere. I'm redlinking consanguineous family in the article. Please someone define consanguineous family, or maybe i will. 67.161.46.169 01:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
