	Nuclear family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term nuclear family was developed to distinguish the family group consisting of parents and their children, usually a father, mother, and children, from what is known as an extended family.
		While the family is a near-universal cultural phenomenon, nuclear families do not form the family unit in every society.
		In its most common usage, the term "nuclear family" refers to a household consisting of a father, a mother and their children (siblings)[1].

		The proportion of Australians 15 years of age or over who have never married has increased between 1975 and 1995 from 25.4% to 30.6% reflecting the fact that more Australians are marrying later in life, or are living in de facto relationships.
		In a study conducted by the Institute of Family Studies it was found that, after 10 years of marriage, 26% of marriages of people who had lived together prior to marriage had ended in divorce, compared with 14% of the marriages of people who had not lived together prior to marriage.

		Responding by fighting, which normally goes on between children in a family and which is always a source of annoyance for parents, does have a positive side, for, during the course of adjudicating, the parents learn patience, consistency and fairness and when to insist on just means of reparation.
		Families should be encouraged and helped, not told that they are incapable of solving the problem, or simply that they have no obligation to suffer the inconvenience.
		The family needs help to become educated itself because it is ultimately within the family that the best sex education is going to take place.

		Many Australian Christians were stirred to action in recent months by the marriage issue, and record numbers of public submissions were received by a Senate committee examining the government's plans to pass legislation outlawing same-sex marriage.
		Despite a steady decline over the past century in the numbers of Australians identifying themselves as Christians, census figures indicate that almost 70 percent are Christians, with the Catholic and Anglican churches the largest denominations.
		Although political analysts are skeptical, Family First says it hopes to displace the Australian Greens as the third-largest force in the federal Senate, a position that has given the left-wing environmental party considerable influence in recent years as it has held the balance of power between the ruling coalition and the ALP.

		Trying to ban raunchy films is a tiny part of the Australian Family Association's battle to protect the concept of the traditional family.
		The late Bob Santamaria, the man responsible for establishing the AFA in 1979, saw that act as a pernicious piece of legislation that made divorce too easy and attacked the sanctity of the family.
		Barnes agrees that the AFA has a broader constituency than its stablemate and is more dynamic, but he maintains that is largely because of the media coverage it is given.

		In a Jul. 2 letter to Australian Prime Minister John Howard, MP Peter Slipper joined the Paris-based Australian Family Association in asking that the country’s immigration officials deny the controversial Grammy-winning rapper a visa on the ground that his lyrics are violent, homophobic, and misogynistic.
		There is no way the Australian government should allow those who pray on the disenchanted and disillusioned youth of Australia to visit our country and promote a culture of drugs, violence and foul language,'' Slipper said in his statement to Howard.
		Slipper, who is secretary to the Australian minister of finance and a member of the Australian House of Representatives, is a lawyer, business, and farmer who represents a conservative agriculture region comprising coastal Australia and its hinterlands north of Brisbane.

		The family has been acknowledged by the United Nations in its Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as "the natural and fundamental group unit of society entitled to protection by society and the State".
		The unconscious fear of disintegration, of “breaking” (in one way, in the sense of ‘broken families‘) or falling apart in the face of managing complex internal conflicts is at the heart of processes which evolve into the creation of a hated, vilified other.
		For example, the president of the AFA was a key speaker at a high profile public rally organised by the “Standing Together Coalition” of primarily fundamentalist religious organisations on the theme “Families at Risk from Lesbian and Gay Law Reform“.

		The church further submitted that the Court should conclude that, if there is any discrimination in the State Act in its requirement that treatment procedures be made available only to women who are married or living with a man in a de facto relationship, that requirement is reasonable in the circumstances.
		The Australian Family Association has sought leave to become a party to the High Court action, to put the case that children have the right to be born into families.
