I'm not married, but I've been living with my fiance for some years now. We are engaged and planning our wedding. Every once and awhile a question or answer here pops up reffering to a spouse as a family member or people say when you get married you're starting a new family.
This is a bizarre concept to me. I could not imagine considering him family. He's not! He's a partner in crime! Harhar.
Then again I am not close to my family.

When you get married the other person should be more family to you than anyone else, even your family as you know it. You are suppose to leave your mother and father and start a new family. This new spouse should become the most important person in this world to you. You have vowed to love them and honor them through everything. I believe if you look at your new spouse like this and they feel ths same way, you will enjoy a long married and happy life with them. Goodluck.

From your last sentence I can understand your confusion with the concept. Yes I consider him family and actually a different type of family closer than anyone else that I am related to by blood. When we married we leave our parents and become one with our spouse. So in a sense you remain not seperate people but one-half of the same person.
Excellent question!

When you marry by law he is your next of kin which equals family. And yes my hubby is my partner but he is my partner in this new family that we have started.
What are you going to consider your kids if you have them? It all about starting a new family. When people talk to you their going to ask "how is the family?"
If you can't deal with this, I would say don't get married or have kids.

When you're married he becomes both a life partner and family.
When the children start coming, who becomes the head of the family?

This is the dumbest question I ever answered! You can consider your husband what the hell ever you want.
Normal people consider their husband the partner that they fell in love with and then they create a family!
If you want to consider him your family, your partner, your spouse, your best friend, your crime partner, or your sex partner, THEN DO IT! What does your family have to do with your husband?
There is no title on what to consider your husband!

When we got married, we started a new household together. I consider my husband my family, just as I consider our children my family. I figure it this way, we are extending our family trees together.

I consider my husband my partner, but with our boy, we are a family. Make sense?

I know how you feel, I don't have any family (no bros no sisters and parents dead). I don't think of my husband as family - but he is my best friend (and that's all I need).

He will be your family, especially when the kids start coming.

He's my family, my best friend, my life partner and my lover.
