Which type of family structure includes a married couple in a committed relationship and their children?

  1. Nuclear family

  2. Polyamorous family

  3. Same-sex family

  4. Single-parent family

The correct answer is: Nuclear family

The key words in the question are "married couple" and "children". This type of family structure is also referred to a traditional family as it consists of a father, mother, and their children. Option B, polyamorous family, refers to a family structure where there are more than two adults involved in a romantic and/or sexual relationship. Option C, same-sex family, refers to a family structure where both parents are of the same gender. Option D, single-parent family, refers to a family structure where one parent is raising the children without the other parent present. Both options B and C do not involve a married couple. Option D does not involve a committed relationship between a married couple. Hence, the correct answer is A.
