In fact data shows that families are evolving, families are still the most important thing in people's lives, and data shows that the future may have the traditional' family come back. In conclusion, Robert Glossop says, "I think people are increasingly adopting a more inclusive definition, focusing more on what families do rather than what they look like." By Mark Blacker
