title: [The prevalance of the nuclear family in the Spanish family system].
abstract: Preliminary results are presented from a research project on trends in family characteristics in modern Spain.  "The goal of this research has been to know the grade of stability in the family institution and the influence of other alternative ways of living together apart from the traditional family.  To sum up, we can regard the prevalence of the nuclear family in Spanish society as evident.  In the same way, the responsibility of parenthood still is a marriage responsibility and has its place within the family.  In spite of that, a transformation has taken place, as well as in other aspects, in relation to the concept and the reality of the family institution, which preserves its special character in the European context."
