" "In the nuclear family the child is confronted by only two adults contrasted by sex. The tendency towards polarization is unavoidable. The duplication of effort in the nuclear family is directly connected to the family's role as the principal unit of consumption in consumer society. Each household is destined to acquire a complete set of all the consumer durables considered necessary for the good life and per caput consumption is therefore maintained at its highest level. In sex, as in consumption, the nuclear family emphasizes possession and exclusivity at the expense of the kinds of emotional relationships that work for co-operation and solidarity.

another characteristic I found of love in healthy people is that they
have made no really sharp differentiation between the roles and
personalities of the two sexes. That is, they did not assume that the
female was passive and the male active,whether in sex or love or anything else. These people were so certain
of their maleness or femaleness they did not mind taking on some
of the aspects of the opposite sex role. It was especially noteworthy
that they could be both passive and active lovers…an instance of
the way in which common dichotomies are so often resolved in selfactualization,
appearing to be valid dichotomies only because people
are not healthy enough.
