How Important is the Role of Family in Society, from the bible's perspective.

From the beginning of time, the family an institution designed by God, was developed with two objectives in mind; these are: have children and fill the earth, and to the woman, she should be a helper to her spouse. It looks pretty simply, but its easier said than done. The family provides the foundation of every human relationship on earth. How the world is, is how the families of the world are. It is still true that the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world.

There are several types of family, and I will look at them, in relation to the objectives that families were created for. If the family is unable to fulfill any one of these roles, I would consider that it is not a real family. Firstly lets look at the NUCLEAR FAMILY

A nuclear family or elementary family is a family group consisting of a pair of adults and their children. This sort of family was from the beginning; there was Adam, and Eve and their children (Cain and Abel) Gen 4:1 We must consider that based on the perspecive of scripture, this would be the ideal family type.
