Devotion was to

Yet his main devotion was to their family and their nine children.

I don't quite get this sentence. Could you say the sentence in a different way?

Thanks!

Hi, Yet his main devotion was to their family and their nine children. It's not a good sentence. A person's family includes his wife and children.
