But with "no-fault divorce" and "shacking-up, that layered generational family flew out the window. Still even today, love and trust, or as I would say, intimacy and mutuality, shape the parental love relationship of the nuclear family. Alikeness, similar values and lifestyles are still the criteria that goes into a trusting nucleus of a family.
