What are the three residence patterns for married couples?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. In a patrilocal residence pattern, newly married couples live with the husband's family. In a matrilocal residence pattern, the couple lives with the wife's family. In a neolocal residence pattern, the couple sets up their own residence. Around the world, the most common residence pattern is patrilocal. In industrialized societies, married couples are typically neolocal. Since the early 1990s, however, the tendency for young married adults to live with the parents of either the wife or the husband-or sometimes with the grandparents of one of the partners-has increased. Such "doubled-up" U.S. households have always existed but escalated during the 2007-2009 recession for economic reasons.
