Families can be categorized in various ways depending on their structure, relationships, and dynamics. Here are eight different types of family structures:

1. **Nuclear Family**: This is a family unit consisting of two parents (a mother and father) and their biological or adopted children living together.

2. **Extended Family**: This includes relatives beyond the nuclear family, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, often living in close proximity or sharing resources.

3. **Single-Parent Family**: This family structure is headed by one parent raising one or more children, which can result from divorce, separation, death, or choice.

4. **Blended Family**: Formed when one or both partners in a family have children from previous relationships, and they come together to create a new family unit.

5. **Childless Family**: A couple who chooses not to have children or is unable to have children, living as a family unit with just the partners.

6. **Cohabiting Family**: This includes unmarried couples living together in a long-term relationship, with or without children.

7. **Foster Family**: A family that provides temporary care for children who are unable to live with their biological parents due to various reasons.

8. **Same-Sex Family**: A family structure where same-sex couples may live together and raise children, either biological, adopted, or from previous relationships.

These categories can overlap and vary significantly based on cultural, social, and personal circumstances.
