What is a phrase or word to describe a person who enjoys family life and values family over other things?
The only phrase I can think of is 'family person/people', which I think is not proper or even right. Please offer me some?

Lexico has this definition for 'family man':
A man with a wife (or long-term partner) and children, especially one who enjoys home life.
‘I'm very much a family man and need to be close to those I love’
It's very natural these days to change the gender of expressions like this, so 'family woman' or the gender-neutral 'family person' would be widely understood.
