Human life has a few cyclic needs that are necessary. These include: eating, sleeping, recreation.
Family is also such a cyclic need, but with different temporal properties and statistic properties - the time taken by parenthood is localized over a brief period of time and reduces to zero. And as for statistics, the need is throughout the entire population but some individuals can avoid it.
