Today, it is unlikely that any two people would describe that term the same way.
There was a time, however, when it was assumed that the ideal family unit consisted of a husband and wife and their biological children, all living together under one roof. Social and legal incentives abound, still, to encourage its perpetuation, and membership within it carries a subtle privilege.
