A nuclear family consists of parents and their children living in one household and is the most common form of family structure in modern societies, which describes Alain and Cleo's two-child family. It is not disjointed, which implies a lack of connection or fragmentation within a family, nor extended, which would include relatives beyond parents and their children. Conjugal is a term used to describe the relationship between husbands and wives.
