A conjugal family is a family system of spouses and their dependent children,[1] by birth or adoption. Conjugal means there is a marriage relationship. If someone refers to their own conjugal family, they are referring to the fact that they are married with children.[2] In a conjugal family, spouses and their children are considered to be principally relevant, with other more distant relatives less relevant. Being a nuclear family, a conjugal family is detached from kinship.[1]
