Hasn't research proven that the nuclear family system has done more bad than good to the family?

Uh, exactly what research are you referring to? I believe all the research I've seen indicates otherwise: 1 mom + 1 dad = happy, successful family.

It's not an obsession , it is a direct result of economic freedom and technology. When multiple generations used to live under a single roof they did so because they couldn't afford to live otherwise. They lived better together than they would have apart. Such is no longer the case.
There is also something very elemental in the American psyche- the value of the individual . Most of the world doesn't get that- the think that is a weakness.
In the American version a man chooses a woman and she him- together they go out and build a new life of their own choosing..It's called freedom

well ive never heard such a claim by any organization claiming that what you say is true, you might try citing a source if you want people to give any credibility to your statement
the nuclear family, meaning an intact two parent household is what is best for children, this has been the cultural and societal norm for thousands of years and in an evolutionary sense, it must have been favored or it would not have survived so long

Obsessed is a strong word. The nuclear family traditionally is Dad, Mom and kids. I think any family with a loving environment is what a kiddo needs. Doesn't matter if it comes from Gramma and Grammpa, two mommies, one daddy. Just love the kids and treat them with respect and TEACH them respect.

Who knows how 'harmful' cultural practices arise. Economics and culture support it. I see no changes in this. Though i think the nuclear family is a really bad idea.

Whats your point? Nothing wrong with any kind of family. Nuclear or otherwise.
