Maybe The Good Old Days Weren't So Bad When It Came To Family Life

In polite society, people are expected to celebrate rather than lament the passing of the married-heteros-plus-kids household as a dominant norm. Bubbling under the surface, though, is considerable unease with the trajectory of family life. We get a look at this in a survey commissioned by Redbook and Martindale-Hubbell’s lawyers.com from LexisNexis, fielded by Harris Interactive.

Respondents split evenly on whether there’s “a lot of pressure in society to have a traditional family structure,” with 49 percent agreeing and 51 percent disagreeing.
