First, let's remember what a family is. As you know, a family is a small group based on marriage and consanguinity. it is in the family that a person undergoes primary socialization, it is in the family that he instills love for everything that is dear. One of the functions of the family is the upbringing and socialization of a person. Under the homeland, in turn, it is customary to understand - the place where the person was born. Thus, we have two concepts that are quite dependent on each other.
I completely agree with this statement.
Let us recall the work of L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". There, Andrei Bolkonsky was brought up in the family of a count, who taught children discipline and love for the motherland from childhood, which is why Andrei grew up a true patriot.
You can also remember examples from other sources, such as historical facts. So during the Great Patriotic War, many soldiers, before going into battle, remembered their home, their family and understood their responsibility to them and to their homeland.
All of the above tells us that love for the homeland begins with love for the family.

Paganism is morning, Christianity is evening. Every single thing and the whole world. Will it not be morning, is this the last evening? Russian life is dirty and weak, but somehow sweet.

And I want "this" ...
Vasily Rozanov
The people have a soul, to which one must partake in order to understand it! No, its transformers and enlighteners see in it only a certain quantity, a certain given mental force, on which it is required to carry out experiments. And besides, what an amazing courage and self-confidence! It is required, in the name of some higher and unconditional goal, to carry out these experiments without fail and forcibly !! How to produce them - in this very teachers not only agree - in a firm intention to act on thought and develop, develop it! In vain do weak voices protest them that an ordinary person has more than one mind, that he has a soul, the same as that of any other, that in his heart he has the same fortress on which he must build his whole life, and on which to this day he has a church building ... No, they all turn to thought and want to call it to, in essence, idle activity, on issues that have long been easily and cheaply resolved by the enlighteners themselves. What a delusion!
Konstantin Pobedonostsev
A people that has retained the feeling of a nation cannot perish.

For almost every person, the concept of Motherland is not an empty phrase. Homeland is important for everyone, as is freedom. Unity with native spaces, with the places where you were born and raised, unity with the people you relate to, with its customs and beingness. Love for the holy native places, for the Motherland is brought up from childhood. The ability to live and work for the good of the Motherland, to love and protect it, to fully develop and improve the quality of life is the essence of each of us.
Great poets sang their love for the Motherland in verse, writers dedicated novels to it. The ancient sages left a legacy to their descendants in the form of sayings that have passed through the years and have come down to our days and which we read now ...

The legitimate degree of popular wisdom, which constitutes the belonging of love to the fatherland, must be deeply distinguished from arrogant self-adoration; one is a virtue, and the other a vice or evil, retarding the movement of progress, which, in my extreme understanding, requires, first of all, the fundamental equality of peoples.
