Everyone has his own definition of what a family should be like. The meaning of a family is different to each of us. Therefore by sociologists giving definitions to what a family is, we do not have a clear idea of what family is and not all definitions adept to all families. I strongly believe that there is no “ideal family”. In the following essay I will explain why.
My first point is the explanation why there is no perfect family setup. In my opinion it does not matter what the constellation of a family is. For example, if there is a mother, a father and two children, for most people it seems that this is a perfect family. But think of the situation that the father or mother is an alcoholic. No one knows, outwardly it appears that everyone is happy.
I would also say that it is not important if the parents are the “real” parents, this means that the children are adopted. For instance, most of the children who are adopted have a considerably better life than before.
Afterwards, I want to argue why there is no connection between family constellation and relationships between family members. The first point is that in most instances there is a better relationship between family members in single parent families. Because there is no rivalry between kinds and parent. Often young children are jealous on one parent. Another point is that a relationship consists of giving and receiving. In other words, there could be the perfect family, but if no one thinks about the others it is impossible to live happy together.
The last thing I want to show is that no classification exists, which is perfect for society. Neither a nuclear family nor any other family can live without any problems. This means that a family can look like the perfect family for years, always obliging and friendly. And from one day to the other the couple gets divorced because the husband was unfaithful. There is no guarantee that if you raise a family, you will always be as happy as you were at the beginning. Another thing is that every person in this world has another meaning of the family which is perfect for society. A person who lives in Africa has another idea of the perfect family than someone who lives in Austria.
In conclusion, the question “Which is the ideal family?” is really difficult to answer, because everyone has another opinion of it. Because of that there cannot be a ideal family which contains the meaning of everyone. It depends on many factors. You always have to look at all of them.

[In your introduction there are sentences that don't make sense. The sentences are also fairly incoherent.]
exp: "My first point is the explanation why there is no perfect family setup." --> First, I'm going to explain why ...
exp: In my opinion a certain family constellation doesn't no automatically guarantee that the children grow up in a perfect family.
exp: "But think of the situation that the father or mother is an alcoholic." --> But if you assume one of them (or both) is an alcoholic then it looks differently.
exp: "No one knows, outwardly it appears that everyone is happy." --> By looking at the families from the outside, we often assume they are perfect but when we know them from the inside we think differently.
exp: "I would also say that it is not important if the parents are the “real” parents, this means that the children are adopted." --> For me it's also irrelevant whether the parents are the 'real' ones or whether the children are adopted.
[There's no conclusion to your argument yet. --> Therefore, I'm sure that the perfect is not defined by anything that we can easily see from the outside.
exp: "Afterwards, I want to argue why there is no connection between family constellation and relationships between family members." --> ??? (I will continue the arguemnent from the preceding paragraph.) Therefore, it's not so much the set-up of the families that counts but what relationship they have. For example, the relationship in a single parent family can be better than in the traditional one because there is ... It is important that the relationship is based on giving and receiving. ...
exp: to be jealous of someone
exp: "no classification exists, which is perfect for society" ???
You misunderstand the point "importance for society": The question here is whether 'ideal families' have a positive effect on society. And this can easily be proved because statistics show that there is a relationship between disrupted families and various crimes and problems in life.
exp: "obliging"?
exp: from one day to the next
exp: everyone has another idea of something
"In conclusion, the question “Which is the ideal family?” is really difficult to answer, because everyone has another opinion of it." --> This does not fit into an opinion essay where you try to convince others of your opinion.
exp/str/g: "Because of that there cannot be a ideal family which contains the meaning of everyone."
You don't really try to convince the reader and the ending is more like a summary but that is incorrect for an opinion essay.
