 In mine-holds every dwarf is expected to contribute to building, furnishing and running ++Community facilities|(meeting places, recreational area, wells, rubbish dumps, public baths, medical facilities, alms houses, schools, Etc)++  according to their skills, abilities and wealth -  but this can be slow, and almost generational as facilities are developed and expanded.  In Ex-pat communities, community facilities might be funded by individuals or groups.  Even the smallest expat community expects to have a tavern which can serve as a social and meeting space, although it will probably be privately owned.  However, the public bath might have been 'endowed' by the //Friendly Company of Dwarf Blacksmiths// while a school might be named after its patron and founder.
+===== Personal =====
+Dwarves form long term relationships with their partners, and often last a life-time. Marriage be celebrated in ++a wedding overseen by a priest|(more common in a mine-hold)++, or it may be a ++personal commitment made between the partners|(More commonly seen in mixed Ex-Pat communities)++, then shared informally with the community.  Children are raised to adulthood in a secure family and community setting.  Dwarves are a long-lived race, and pregnancies are more spread out than for humans, and it can look like there are few children  -  But there are clearly enough for the race to survive and (perhaps) sustain a slow population growth.
