Extended Family Disappearing?

There was a section in the book on the relations of an extended family. It said that having relationships with your extended family isn’t common anymore. We’ve "lost" the extended family. I had a discussion with my roommate about it and have come to the conclusion that this may be true for the world but not for members of the church. Those without the gospel in their lives tend to break off relationships with their families due to conflict and then grudges. But to those in the church, family is everything. We do what it takes to stick together. We know about repentance and forgiveness. My family is important to me. I look forward to every get together and these turn out to be some of my favorite memories. I believe extended family is just as alive as ever before. At least for me it is.
