The Treatise tries to analyze not only modern Western families, but also those in other cultures and the changes in family structure during the past several centuries.

I like to feel that what I'm doing portrays this: a family where there is love between mother, father and the kids. It's a subject that is near and dear to me.

I've been reading 'The Sisterhood,' and I love the author Bobbie Houston and what she's about. It's the whole idea of women celebrating each other's wins and journeying through life together.

There is a common theme, though, in the stories I have told, which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle.

ABC's intelligently hilarious sitcom 'Modern Family' depicts a gay-male marriage in which both partners are refreshingly dimensional, believable human beings. The writers dare to make them flawed and thus fully delineated, but they're not flawed in the silly, stereotypical ways that once dominated such portrayals.

I really like reading about how families work together.

I think that people with differing points of view find common ground in 'Modern Family' is very flattering, and I'm appreciative of that.

I love the concept of togetherness and the entwinement of marriage.

It's about strengthening the relationship and the bond of parent to child.

Marriage encourages the men and women who together create life to unite in a bond for the protection of children.
