Accepted Answer

The four subsystems of families are the marital partner subsystem, parental subsystem, sibling subsystem, and the extra-familial subsystem. These subsystems refer to the various relationships and interactions that exist within and outside of the family unit. The marital partner subsystem includes the relationship between the two partners in a marriage or partnership. The parental subsystem refers to the relationship between parents and their children. The sibling subsystem encompasses the interactions between siblings within a family. Finally, the extra-familial subsystem encompasses the various relationships and interactions that extend beyond the family unit, including extended family members, friends, and community members.

Accepted Answer

Economic needs refer to the earning and spending of money to meet the needs of the family, including things like providing food, clothing, and shelter. Daily care involves tasks like cooking, cleaning, and caregiving. Self-definition includes family values, beliefs, and goals, while affection refers to emotional connections between family members.
