Family is one of the 5 major social institutions, and marriage is an important concept to families. The definition of marriage and family change over time, and from place to place, also. Families, like other social institutions, adapt to social change. The purpose of this discussion is to examine several changes that are occurring within families in the United States.

Task

Answer the following discussion prompts in 250-500 words (total):

Describe at least two changes in family types and structures since the 1950s in the United States. Ideas of changes include nuclear families, single-parent households, cohabitation, rates of divorce, same-sex couples, and staying single.

Compare and contrast different attitudes toward cohabitation (you may describe your own, and compare that to those to others you know). Are there any sociological benefits or costs for couples who live together before marriage? What do studies show about the relationship between cohabitation, divorce, and domestic violence?
