I can't think of a better one, but then I'm biased! Most of the progress happening in the world today is based on science. By gaining skill in science, you are in a much better position to contribute to society and be rewarded for it. You are less likely to be struggling, working long hours or multiple jobs, just to meet your needs for daily living. Reducing that pressure frees you to devote more attention to contributing to a successful family.
It's almost impossible to study science without developing your ability to think. That by iteself goes a long way toward making you skilled at family relationships.
These benefits come just from studying science. You need not even have a career directly in science. The skills will help you in many careers. See what you're good at and what you enjoy.

I work in a research lab and our company makes a great effort to ensure a balanced life. Sure many companies stress this too... but I believe that mine has made it realistic and easily obtainable by providing many services that would otherwise be taken care of before/after work: mail receipt, dry cleaning, child care, a wonderful gym - the list goes on. Some of our employees do work long hours in trying to make deadlines, but who doesn't? A career in science allows for the imaginative/problem solving mind to expand and grow.

Hmmm...different people can be happy with different careers..and pertaining to family life, depends on the family...really depends on how much they need or or you them.
I worked previously with scientists, chemists, engineers...some were happier in general than others. I have a close friend who is a scientist of a big gov't agency - works on high profile projects and works about 14 hour days most days. His work consumes him...and he has no family life (not married, no kids)
Just depends on too many variables. but for what its worth...science has got to be the most fascinating career path to get into.

Sounds like a research grant in the making...

Of course. I don't understand why it wouldn't be.
