Dalinar's relationship with his family is complicated. He idealizes his brother, and, as a younger man, was frequently willing to make sacrifices in Gavilar's favor. However, he also heavily envied him, mostly when it came to Gavilar's wife, [[Navani]], although such moments of envy were often accompanied by an intense sense of shame.{{book ref|sa3|26

Dalinar's relations with the younger generation of [[House Kholin]] are no less fraught. He has been idealizing [[Adolin]] since the moment the boy was born, and favored him heavily to the detriment of [[Renarin]].{{book ref|sa3|49}}{{book ref|sa3|52}} Although he generally supports him, he often resorts to treating Adolin as a subordinate soldier rather than a son when trying to have his way.{{book ref|sa3|88}}{{book ref|sa1|24}} While outwardly claiming that Adolin doesn't have to be perfect, Dalinar seems to expect it from his son, and the realization that this might not necessarily be the case has him reeling.{{book ref|sa3|122}} Adolin in return adores Dalinar and finds the idea of opposing him to be terrifying.{{book ref|sa1|24}}▼
Renarin, on the other hand, was often ignored by his father. Dalinar didn't even participate in selecting the boy's name, ignoring Evi's messages, and quickly lost interest in the boy when it turned out he did not have the capacity to be a soldier.{{book ref|sa3|52}} Even when Renarin was a teen, Dalinar could sometimes forget his name, simply referring to him as "the other one" in his thoughts.{{book ref|sa3|94}} Since his visit to the Nightwatcher, however, the relationship between the two grew better, with Dalinar trying to understand and support Renarin.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|44}}▼
=== Elhokar ===
Dalinar grew highly protective of [[Elhokar]] following Gavilar's death, having sworn to himself that he would not let the boy come to harm.{{book ref|sa1|13}} Over time, however, his tendency to take control begins to take precedent. However non-deliberately, Dalinar starts to pull the kingdom out of Elhokar's hands. Though Dalinar isn't happy about it, he does little to stop himself once he realizes it, and often forces his will on his nephew.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa1|69}} He does see traces of Gavilar in Elhokar; this is, however, rare.{{book ref|sa2|56}}
Dalinar's relationship with [[Jasnah]] is perhaps the best among his relatives. The two bond together over ''The Way of Kings'', and respect each other's knowledge and opinions.{{book ref|sa3|105}} Dalinar considers Jasnah to be the most trustworthy person in his family, often wishing that she would come to the Shattered Plains with him.{{book ref|sa1|22}} Jasnah likewise is willing to aid her uncle, offering heartfelt advice when needed.{{book ref|sa3|56}}▼

=== Navani ===
While Dalinar is incapacitated Navani leads the coalition and covers for him while he is unable to do his job.{{book ref|sa3|104}}{{book ref|sa3|96}}

=== Evi ===
His own marriage was significantly worse, as he and [[Evi]] had little in common, and even after years together, Dalinar still pined for Navani.{{book ref|sa3|36}} While Dalinar did his duty in marrying Evi and fathering children with her, he could not make himself fall in love with her, which he somewhat regretted.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The cultural barrier between the two would lead to a number of misunderstandings, and while Dalinar sometimes let Evi have her way, he often did so out of frustration rather than genuine affection.{{book ref|sa3|66}}
