Kid,
I think you ought to see if you can find a copy of it to view. It represents part of Mormon culture that might help a never-mo understand us a bit better.
Mormons produce these cheesy, sappy, B-rated religious videos and reveal something about themselves when they do so.
Have you ever seen Man's Search for Happiness? That's another must-see for a never-mo. Cypher in the Snow is another one I saw a gazillion times.
Ok, I just thought of the penultimate Mormon movie you must see. "Like Unto Us" - it was a series created for seminary and young adults. You gotta see it!!!!

We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Yes, but they've made a cult out of one, historically recent model of family relations. Human beings have organized their clan relations along many lines and developed many models, in fact, history not being over, human beings are still creating new versions to fit new circumstances.
The bourgeois patriarchal family of mid-to-late 19C Europe has probably been made a tad more authoritarian under Mormonism, but its basically the same model developed to meet the needs of Euro-capitalism at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution (it's "benefits" were never extended to working class peoples who continued to live in whatever arrangements they could muster as their circumstances were constantly torn apart and remolded at the whim of "society"). It is this social and economic unit that "The Family" Mormonism worships is grounded in, not some divine, nor Biblical, nor Abrahamic fantasy.
Its always useful, I think, to remember the roots of the word "famly." It derives from "familia" the Roman term for household slaves.
From the Ernest L. Wilkinson Diaries: "ELW dreams he's spattered w/ grease. Hundreds steal his greasy pants."
Yes, I agree, blixa - the modern LDS church hasn't even made a cult out of family as it was originally conceived in Joseph Smith' Mormonism (polygamy with largely absent fathers), either. It's made a cult out of the popularized notion of family that was peddled in the fifties.

So in the future, the family model they worship will either change (to include gay couples, for instance) or they'll abandon all this family worship? Which do you think it will be? I'd say the former, what with eternal marriage and all. Of course, the eternal marriage doctrine might also change.
