Really this is a take it or leave it thing some disagree I see no use in having personal items that I put such importance on that if they were gone or broken I would be broken. Liberation is the goal. Liberate your mind and soul, family really there is no such thing as a traditional family two people that love each other and are committed up to many people it depends as long as the brotherhood is there and there is room for creativity. Nature gave us brotherhood, she did not give us a forced authority system where everyone has roles and has to follow them.
Really any tradition be yourself man, add your own creative spice to things. Traditions and stuff can make life more beautiful but thinking outside the box makes them more memorable beautiful and fun. I never said walking the path of the liberated is easy its not but its rewarding and will lead you to happiness beyond anything you ever thought possible. It has been said: "the road is long and hard and few will find it but the path to hell leads up to the light".
Peace.
