The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more
an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional
American family was always more varied than we have been led to believe, reflecting the
very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current
American families fit the traditional mold another third consists of married couples who
either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one, about 20 percent
of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-
five years old. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried
people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually
divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and
therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in
family forms other than the traditional one.
