1) Choosing to find a partner and live together as a couple (married or not, straight or not) away from the home of family origin of both partners and buy a house on mortgage together at around roughly the age of 30.
2) Going out to work, i.e. finding (or creating) a regular and (in the short run, anyway) reliable source of income outside the household, usually involving about 35 hours of work a week, plus commuting time of up to 10 hours a week... most commonly on terms decided by someone else (an "employer") is (statistically) normal for people aged 18 to over 60, except for the disabled and for mothers of pre-school children.
3) Taking one or two "holidays" away from home lasting at least a week, usually about two weeks, sometimes one of one week and one of two. The 'norm' is a holiday in which couples, plus pre-teen children when they have them, go away together, occasionally with other relatives and even more rarely with friends also included, stay in a place-to-stay design ed for holidaymakers such as a campsite, bed-and-breakfast, guest house, inn, or hotel. It is usually taken at the seaside or in a rural location and quite often outside Britain (most commonly France or Spain). The longest holiday is normally taken in the summer (June to early September; if schoolchildren are involved, during the school holidays which in England are last week of July to first Monday in September, in Scotland about 3 weeks earlier at both ends).
4) (I give u a 4th so u have a choice)
Family gatherings at Christmastide. Details vary, but the visiting of family and the exclusion of friends from "Christmas celebrations" is extremely commonplace. Typically, younger dults who live away from their family-of-origin return to the home of their parent(s) or some other older close relative to spend Xmas Day (Dec 25) and some or all of the period from the previous weekend through to the first Monday after New Year's Day (back-to-work day). Where families are large or split, people will divide their time between each relative, e.g. a married couple going to her parents on Xmas Day and his parents on Boxing Day (Dec 26). (These two days are the core days for this ritual.)
