Generally this means the traditional nuclear family of:
– Breadwinner Man
– Housewife
– 2 and a half kids (no dismemberment, just averages)
It was and apparently still is, unless the book is pretty old, a feminist obsession.
The notion is that a nuclear family ties wives to their husbands and turns them into a source of free labour.
Plenty of people hate it, and yet plenty of women still consider it the ideal.
The actuality is whatever you want out of your relationship.
