Title: MATRILOCAL AND CONJUGAL FAMILY

Student’s Name:

Institution:

My first term I chose is matrilocal family. However, matrilocal family is a family whereby the husband goes to live with the family of the wife. This is a culture which allows the man to move to live with the mother and the father in law. As a result, the man is required to change his social life their living according to the cultures of the parents in law (Brown, 2020).

As far as the episode is concerned, the man had to go and hence live with the female’s family. It is through that whereby the man was required to change his lifestyle and hence adapt the live from the female’s family. Moreover, when not controlled, matrilocal family might end up bringing about conflicts amongst the people and their care has to be taken so as to ensure that the cases of misunderstanding are not experienced.

On the other hand, conjugal family is the other term which should be considered in different aspects. However, this is a term in which the marred couple as well as their children lives together. The marriage relationship between the people ensures that they are brought together for the purposes of ensuring that they work towards ensuring that they understand different cultures.

Moreover, conjugal family is applied in the episode in that the family adopted a child who was later married. However, this helped in ensuring that the family is complete therefore making it easy for the members to share ideas in the expected manner. The demonstration of this term in the episode has been clear because the family was forced to adopt a child (Ikamari, 2020).
