it's the same difference as a home and a house. I consider some of my friends as family as where some relatives are just people with whom I (sadly) share some DNA markers with....

Yes.. Family - people who support you 100% whether they are people you know by blood or not. Relatives - people you are related to by blood...

Yes, you can consider someone part of your family, ie. "She's like a mother to me." I love my church family, but they are not related to me. They really are not my relativesbut they are part of my family! :)

Relatives are people who you share some of your genes with. Family is people who you're really close to, and don't necessarily have to be related to you. You could consider a really close friend part of the family. (Pets too.)
