As i learned from the dictionary. The word "division" signifies also "a disagreement in opinion and life style ,etc.
then . i made this sentence which followed the above explanation.
There are divisions of life style in this small family .
Is this a idomatic sentence ?

@Arafat ,
It's a perfectly acceptable sentence which would be understood by any native speaker. While i wouldn't call it idiomatic, most expressions which people use are not necessarily idiomatic.

My Better Half found it understandable but "awkward," and she's much smarter than I

I think it is a fine sentence, Arafat...and I don't find it especially awkward.

Let me put it this way: I could "hear" an accent in it...but it was a pleasant accent of someone working hard to learn a new language...and doing a good job of it.

That is a hell of a lot more than I've ever been able to do.
