What family type do you Desire?

Families in the current situation
Nowadays there are many variations on the concept of a couple; thus it is more necessary than ever to be prepared for new challenges.

Living together with no legal tie is today very common, yet it may stimulate certain unease and the wish to normalize the situation on the part of the women.

Loving and being loved is inherent in the human being. Thus the search for a companion is and will continually be a priority for most people.

All along couples and families have existed for ages. A home is our first school and affects the life and future of both parents and the children in there. That is why it is of fundamental importance that a marital relationship be built upon a solid foundation.
 How are the families today?
What was known to be the constitution of a family has kept changing over time. Traditionally, a man and woman lived together legally to bear children as the fruits of their relationships. That time the men went for paid employment and the woman devoted herself to home care and child upbringing
In today’s situation there a very many variations from the traditional family model; do you know the variations? Read on to know.

Single parent family: in about 30 years ago the number of unmarried (or divorced) mothers has increased world over. The number of unmarried (or divorced) fathers living with their children is rising too. A single parent family has an advantage that it is free from marital clashes which occasionally cause conflicts. If compared with a quarrelsome couple, the single parent option is liberation for mother or father and their children. However, the children lose their father or mother’s influence which is very crucial in their psychological and sexual development and the unmarried mother lacks the physical and emotional support that a good husband can provide.

Divorcee family: divorcing is becoming very popular and its consequences too. Children go to live with one parent or the other as put by the divorce decree, and enter into a new family of stepsisters and brothers with whom they have to learn to live. Single-parent families formed by divorcees are a liberating solution for those leaving on unpleasant marriages, but they present several challenges. Copping up to live with a new set of people- a task not for parents only but even the children is not a simple joke.

Extended family: these are households comprised of parents, children, uncles, aunties, cousins and other relatives. Such families provide a very good social touch. There is much security in the group. Unfortunately a couple has no privacy and the relationship is usually biased to some family members. There are usually conflicts mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law or between brothers and sons-in-law. This system favors children more than the central couple.  Mainly extended families are a result of immigrations and catastrophes that happen to occur is certain parts of the world.

Homosexual family: similar sex couples are present today. They are still few, but are increasing. In some countries they have been legalized. One challenge to this kind of couple is that they cannot bear children; so they seek out men or women to have children if they need them. The relationship between men is called gay and that between women is called lesbian couple.

Having introduced to you the family setups in the current situation, I put the ball into your hands to search and determine which one suit you best so that you meet your needs as an individual. All the joy we are to enjoy depends on sound decisions and choices that we make before we have gone there.
