Abstract
Within the marriage relationship, community-prescribed roles and responsibilities are molded to meet the needs of the family, with the male head of household responsible for maintaining social and moral order within the family . There is no such thing as a non-working person. The tasks men and women performed may be different, but they are nonetheless important. Children also have responsibilities within the family unit. Sometimes they are apprenticed to another household, a practice the colonists call "putting out."
