A family is a group of people who are related to each other either biologically or legally through a marriage. Sometimes family titles are bestowed honorarily on very close friends (for example, a child my call a close friend of their parents "aunt" or "uncle" despite not being related by blood). There are two classifications for people who are related legally through a marriage. Relatives of one's spouse are considered family "in-law". For a person who has married, the spouse's children from a previous relationship are referred to as "step children" (and the person would be a step parent to those children). For a child whose parent has married someone who is not their biological parent, the step parent's relatives are also called step relatives (step grandparent, step cousin, etc).
