Make divorce more difficult and/or more discouraged.

That doesn't make families stronger -- that makes people who hate each other live together (usually with pretty bad results).

It does, but less divorce might still make for more stability in extended families. I don't know whether the effects of divorce on extended families has been studied.

I think that in this context stability is the wrong thing to optimize for.
