Together, they overcome life's joy and sadness, and become more of a "family" everyday.

Why is family in scare quotes? What more must they do to count as one?

That's just the translator copying the quote marks in the Japanese original without thinking of (or even understanding, I think) the differences in meaning. In the Japanese original it's not meant to indicate doubt like how it comes across in English, it's used to emphasize the word.
