About
Home is a place where a person lives, spends much of her time, or feels generally comfortable with. While a house (or other residential dwelling) is often referred to as a home, and is home to many people, the concept of ‘home’ is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of refuge and safety, where world cares fade, with things and people you love becoming the focus. Home is central to one’s life, primarily emotional, and partially physical.
A family is a domestic group of people, or a number of domestic groups linked through descent (demonstrated or stipulated) from a common ancestor, marriage or adoption. Families have some degree of kinship.
A family consists of a householder and one or more other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. All persons in a household who are related to the householder are regarded as members of his or her family. Families are classified by type as either a ‘married-couple family’ or ‘other family’ according to the sex of the householder and the presence of relatives.
