Forum:Should Lovers Be Listed as family

I don't think lovers should be listed as family. They aren't married so I think it shouln't count.--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 07:20, December 13, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan
 * Is it 1950 again? Why would two people need to get married before being seen as family?
 * Besides, it would mean Kushina Uzumaki and the Fourth Hokage would not be seen as family, nor would Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi. --ShounenSuki (talk 00:52, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Still it wasn't official. It's the same thing with Naruto and Minato, we all knew they were related but it wasn't listed as family was it? Even if it was blatantly clear. I apologise if I seem insulting but in sticking with my arguement.--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 04:24, December 14, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan


 * I think you're contradicting yourself a little there. Or, rather, being simply ignorant. I can understand the non-married relationship argument, but your example of Minato and Naruto is well, completely irrelevant because they are related and family, regardless if he (Minato) died before your cultural view of family took place. Family in this sense is persons related or in a serious, monogamous relationship, using Kurenai and Asuma as an example; they have a son and are a family. They don't have to be married, again, in your cultural idea of family to be family. 98.211.13.216 (talk) 06:20, December 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * There's also the fact that, for a long while, Naruto's relation to Minato was pure speculation. "Lover", in the rare cases that it comes up, is at least provable. ~SnapperTo 06:27, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
