Unwed, single parents, communal relationships, couples who choose other so-called alternative life styles all are defined as families today. Families aren't dying, we're told, they're just changing to survive. In the United States, for example, recent government reports show the stereotyped traditional family, composed of a wage earning father and a stay-at-home mother with children, belongs to an exclusive club of only 13 percent (other reports say 7 percent) of American households. The accelerated change of the family structure in just one generation is alarming to those who are open-minded enough to see the effects on the children involved. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
