I do and I can't see why someone wouldn't. But I remember this being disputed here and on other parts of gamefaqs in the past.

No, it's still an easy escape

A family is something you can't escape from easily when you change your mind

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

Yes but how much so depends on the context.
I don't get caught up on words as much as I do their applications. Sometimes the term is used very broadly. Like a family gathering where your "family" involves your aunt, uncle, people who may not even be related to you personally, etc.
Other applications of the word lean more toward household (eg- "A family of 4." Where your aunt and uncle would not be included in that definition of "family" unless you live together.)
Then some applications clearly are aimed at children (eg- "family friendly")
So I'd say generally, yes, but it depends on the context and I'm not sure if it even matters.

If this signature appears blue, you need to consider not doing whatever it is you're doing.

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

not in the cultural sense, no. Offspring is required in some capacity. If we loop in one of their brothers/sisters or cousins that's a family -- it does't need to be multi-generational.

If we're talking like, residential zoning and the house is "single family occupancy", then, duh, that couple is a family.
