I think that the reason that we as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints value our families so much is because we believe that strong families are the best way for us to return to live with our Father in Heaven again. Families provide the framework for nurturing, teaching and helping children to progress. When societies have strong families, they prosper, when the family falls apart, societies suffer.
Another unique perspective that we enjoy is the belief that by being sealed together in our Temples, we can be together with our spouse and children forever. "Until death do we part" isn't really good enough. When we know that our family relationships can last beyond the grave, we have a greater desire to invest in relationships that are eternal.
Each of us believe that we will be a family after this life. If death were to take one of our family members, we would be very sad and miss them greatly but we would also feel great peace, knowing that we will one day be together again forever.
