Part of The Parent Trope, an Always Male one.
A man who's loyal to his own family, the one he made (with a partner/spouse and children) as well the one he's part of (with parents and siblings). As the former, he could be a House Husband or well a Lazy Husband, but anyway he's loyal to his family and won't do anything to harm them, like being a cheater, an abusive or a workaholic. As the latter, he probably has the Big Brother Instinct or had a Promotion to Parent, but in both cases he wants his family united and will do anything to achieve this.
He is likely to be Happily Married. Compare House Husband, Big Brother Instinct, Promotion to Parent, Standard '50s Father and both Papa Wolf and Action Dad. Contrast Married to the Job, Workaholic, When You Coming Home, Dad?, and Bumbling Dad. See also Family-Values Villain.
Not to be confused with Family Man (Dylan Meconis) webcomic, BBC's The Family Man miniseries, the Indian Prime Video series The Family Man or Family Guy, which have nothing to do with this trope except the name.

Guile literally has this as one of his winning catchphrases ("Go home and be a family man!"). He has a wife and daughter who he loves very much and became a crux of his character arc dating back in his debut at II. He entered the tournament to exact vengeance for his fallen friend Charlie against M. Bison and was very close to accomplishing it (and Bison was goading him to do it). His wife and daughter stopped him and warned him that he would end up in the same path with Bison if he gives in to revenge. Guile took the hint, he went home and resumed being a family man, a role that saved him from going the dark path. note The HD remake's ending scene tweaks this, but the essence is still the same: Guile came to the realization about the futility of revenge on his own. He reunites his family on Charlie's grave when he's paying respects and was doubtful if he's welcome in his home again, seeing that he abandoned them in pursuit of revenge. His family said that they don't care, he's always welcome to return home because they just miss him so much. So, Guile goes home and resumes being a family man.

In the Star Wars saga, Anakin Skywalker epitomizes this trope. He remains devoted to his mother Shmi after years of separation from her and breaks his Jedi vows to marry Padme. Even in his dissociative phase as Darth Vader, he recognizes Luke as his son and wants to rule the galaxy with him.

comment
Some of the most known Sitcom series from those decades (not just from Miller-Boyett) are Full House, a widowed father who enlists his best friend and brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters; Step by Step, two single parents (each with three children), who spontaneously get married after meeting one another during a vacation, resulting in the two of them becoming the heads of a large blended family; Family Matters (Spin-Off of Perfect Strangers), a police officer with a wife, a son and 2 daughters; and Who's the Boss?, a retired major league baseball player who relocates to Fairfield, Connecticut to work as a live-in housekeeper for a divorced advertising executive and who has a daughter.

Homer tries to keep the family united in the end — emphasis on "try". Sometimes is subverted because of being a borderline/straight-up Abusive Parent, especially with Bart, but in the end he loves his children.

Gender-Inverted Trope
 Family Man / int_bbf08a2b
comment
Gender-Inverted Trope:
Cersei Lannister would do anything to protect her children and Jaime. When Tywin died she takes over the position as the head of house Lannister. She is not nearly as skilled as her father, however.
Catelyn Stark, nee Tully is this as well, being the Foil to Cersei. She starts an entire war to free her husband and daughters from captivity. Sadly she fails to do so and gets killed after watching the murder of her first born son and most of her other family members either dead, or thought to be dead. However, she gets the ultimate revenge, by getting reanimated and starts killing anyone who ever wronged her family in any way. It is only fitting that her families words are "Family, Duty, Honor" in this order.
