Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stepparent family is formed when one or both partners have been previously married and have children from that previous marriage. Tony and Natalia's family fits this definition as they both have been married before and have children from their previous marriages. A polygamous family involves one person having multiple spouses at the same time, which is not applicable here. A nuclear family consists of a couple and their biological children living together, which isn't the case for Tony and Natalia's family. A traditional family refers to a heterosexual couple with children where the father is the head of the family, which doesn't apply to this family as they have stepchildren and are not necessarily following traditional gender roles.
