In Mongolian culture, family plays a central role. Mongolians prioritize the well-being and happiness of their family members. The concept of extended family is strong, and it is common for several generations to live together in the same household. This close-knit family structure fosters strong bonds and support networks.

Traditionally, Mongolian families were nomadic, moving from place to place with their herds. This lifestyle required cooperation and unity within the family. Even today, many Mongolians maintain a deep connection to their nomadic roots, and family gatherings often involve traditional activities such as horse racing, wrestling, and archery.
