There are several shows or books called "Family matters". To me, there's a double meaning. "Matters" is either a noun, meaning "something regarding the family", or it's a verb, something like "family is important".
Is this intended ? Do you, as native speakers, understand one of the meanings more than the other ?
Answer
Yes, likely it was intended.
Family is important.
Things that matter to the family. This could also often infer that it is not business to be shared outsiders. (Father's Last Will and Testament is a family matter and not to be discussed with the non-family member.)
