The nuclear family isn’t the ultimate Christian goal

A biblical view of family is much wider than one man, one woman and two kids, says Chine McDonald 

Over the Christmas holidays, my husband, children and I spent a week at my parents’ house. For a few days, we lived as one multi-generational household, joined by my two sisters, my brother-in-law, aunt and cousin. Spending time under one roof with extended family gave me a glimpse of what life can look like when we think beyond the so-called nuclear family.
