Parsons argued that the two main functions of the modern family were:

secondary socialization and strict discipline
emotional support and sexual gratification
primary socialization and personality stabilization
oppressing women and reproducing the labour force
primary socialization and personality stabilization  Parsons’ functionalist theory suggested that various social institutions had developed to meet the basic needs or functions of society. One of these institutions was the family, whose functions were primary socialization and personality stabilization. The former term refers to the process by which children learn the basic values of society from their parents and family members. The latter term describes the way in which families provide emotional support for their members and a place of retreat from the outside world. 450
