A “family“consists of people who are socially-related to one another. It is usually parents (mother and father) and their children.
There are some types of families:
why single–parent family exists. They are: - the death of one of the parent - divorce - pregnancy outside marriage
Parents take care of they children from their childhood and children should help their prents! Girls (or daughters) usually help their mothers in the kitchen or in the garden .Boys (or sons) usually help their fathers around the house or with the car …
The wedding is a formal act and it takes place in a town hall or in a church. The engaged couple exchange their wedding rings and vows - they promise themselves to live together in good and bad and in illnes, too.
Nowadays, many couples are divorced. Their frequent reasons for a divorce are: problems with trust, money, living with parents and parents-in-law, alcohol, drugs, gambling and unemployment … When one of the parent dies, children stay with a single parent. A woman who loses her husband is called a widow and a man a widower. When they get married again, the new parents are called step-parents.

PROVERBS :o) Old love does not rust. Stará láska nehrdzavie As the old cock crows, so does the young. Jablko nepadá daleko od stromu. Small children – small worries, big children – big worries. Malé deti – malé starosti, veľké deti – veľké starosti.
