| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Family |
 | | The family is holy inasmuch as it is to co-operate with God by procreating children who are destined to be the adopted children of God, and by instructing them for His kingdom. | | | The Christian family is supernatural, inasmuch as it originates in a sacrament. | | | In the main, the verdict of scientific writers is in harmony with the Scriptural doctrine concerning the origin and the normal form of the family: "Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). |

| | Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A family is a domestic group of people (or a number of domestic groups), typically affiliated by birth or marriage, or by comparable legal relationships— including domestic partnership, adoption, surname and (in some cases) ownership (as occurred in the Roman Empire). | | | Shows the relationships and names for various family members. | | | Wherever people agree that families seem fundamental to the ordered nature of society, other social institutions such as the state and organised religion will make special provisions for families and will support (in word and/or in deed) the idea of the family. |

| | Family Radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Family Radio relies on listener-supported funding and is unaffiliated with any religious denomination. | | | Family Radio has distanced itself from directly political social issues, which is one of the reasons "Focus on the Family" was removed back in the early 1980s long before other ministries were dropped. | | | As a result Family Radio was widely respected in fundamentalist and even evangelical circles (though not EVER in Pentecostal or Catholic circles) until 1994, both the year and the title of a book by Camping in which he predicted the Second Coming of Christ would likely occur on September 6, 1994. |

| | The family is given great importance as it should form the basis of both the individual's spiritual development and happiness, and society's cohesion and advancement. | | | Perhaps the most significant Bahá'í teaching for family life, affecting families in all cultures, concerns the equality of men and women: first, in their relations to each other, the parents, and second, the impact of this teaching on children. | | | Even when such a division is specified, family circumstances and the course of family life, foresee a deeper involvement of the father in the early stages of the education of children, and the mother's assuming tasks outside the home. |

Far from being an out-moded anachronism of the Talmudic period, it is a concept that is very much alive in religious Judaism today. | | | Contemporary, the laws of family purity are very neglected, because there are many issues and controversies related to this practice, which our Sages explain has little to do with hygiene and every thing to do with holiness. |

| | Extended Family |
| | When spouses are torn between (a) participating in their family’s religious and cultural background, and (b) their spouse's religious preferences and needs, this inhibited their efforts to make decisions about religious and cultural matters, and created distance in the marriage. | | | If couples were unable to strike a balance between nuclear family needs, and extended family needs, lingering extended family tension and conflict related to their religious and cultural differences negatively impacted intermarried couples throughout the marital and family life cycle. | | | Generation “X”ers (ages 21 – 34) spent more time discussing extended family issues. |

| | The documentary "Purity," which airs on the Sundance Channel on July 26, attempts to explore the Orthodox practice of mikvah as related to family purity. | | | As such, she should change the title from "Purity" to "Chilul Hashem" - a desecration of God's name. | | | The filmmaker's subjects are a woman who is divorced because she refused to observe family purity laws; a woman whose irregular menstrual cycles make the practice of mikvah incredibly difficult; and a young girl who is about to be married and is learning about the practice for the first time. |

| | Redefining Family at Colonial Williamsburg |
| | The history of the African-Virginian family is the story of the struggle to rebuild stable family institutions to fill the emotional, cultural, and spiritual void created when African peoples were torn from their homelands. | | | For example, although both husband and wife recognized the woman's role in a family, their lives continued to be narrowly defined and they were seldom educated to reach their full potential. | | | Family development among transplanted African and European peoples was likewise arrested, or at least radically skewed, by the unhealthy climate and environment of the region and the demographics of the early immigration. |

| | The laws of niddah ("menstruant", often referred to euphemistically as "family purity") and various other laws regulating the interaction between men and women (e.g., tzeniut, modesty in dress) are perceived, especially by Orthodox Jews, as vital factors in Jewish life, though they are rarely followed by Reform or Conservative Jews. | | | According to most Orthodox Jews, Jewish people who do not keep the laws of Shabbat and Yom Tov (the holidays), Kashrut, and family purity are considered non-religious. | | | Genealogy is sometimes also referred to as family history, although sometimes these terms are used distinctly: the former being the basic study of who is related to whom; the latter involving more "fleshing out" of the life and family histories of the individuals involved. |
