I really began to see that the nuclear family was not a reality for many of my peers in high school, college and beyond.

You are not alone, I grew up with both of my parents, so it is MY reality for a 2 parent household. Though my parents are Nigerian, I still believe that if they weren't they would still stay together.
I know a couple that have been together for well over 10 years, not married, but common-law wife and husband.
