What does a 'family' look like nowadays?

What does a 'family' look like nowadays? - USATODAY.com: The definition of 'family' has grown to include more than just the stereotypical married Mom, Dad and kids. The survey, by Pew Research Center was based on responses from 2,691 adults surveyed last month. Among findings:

•86% say a single parent and child are a family;

•80% say an unmarried couple living together with a child is a family;

•63% say a gay or lesbian couple raising a child is a family.

Meanwhile, 88% say a childless married couple is a family — but 54% say a cohabiting couple with no children is not a family.
