Thanks

First there is only averages, even in the 60's there we still all sorts of various families, single parent homes, homosexual couples and so on.

In general lower divorces, more 2 family homes, with the man working and the women staying at home.

Nothing like a Sociology type homework question. What class is this for?

The answer you want is lengthy and involved and you can find this information out from various sources. Try the following:

It was a lot closer to the Leave it to Beaver, Father knows Best, Ozzie and Harriet, My Three Sons,. TV shows in comparison to what society is today.
I might add with some dead heads thrown in :)
