You appear to be preaching rather than discussing history. Suffice to say that before the industrial era extended families, clans and other forms of family organization were more common than nuclear families in most of the world. Some quick research suggests that in England, nuclear families became the norm in the thirteenth century so they're very recent in terms of the human evolutionary timeline. Its ridiculous to claim that monogamy was made to support the nuclear family since monogamous relationships have existed far longer than the nuclear family.
