They were very similar to families nowadays. Perhaps they kept closer to cousins and other extended family. Divorce was unheard of, and single-parent families didn't happen as they do in North America. But on the other hand, a married couple like the Shakespeares might actually live apart for economic reasons and in such cases women like Anne Shakespeare were for all intents and purposes single mothers. The same applied to wives of sailors and ship captains who were usually at sea far from their families.
