Best Friend and Family

It's very ironic to keep hearing this statement over and over "she's more than my Mom, she's my best friend" or "He's more than my husband, he's my best friend."

I may be out of date or I'm not "hip" enough to understand the above statement. I thought family or husband is the highest in any relationship hierarchy. Because regardless of what happens, family will always be first. For example, if I have only $10, but both my family and my best friend need it, of course, I will give it to my family first, regardless of if I am close to the family or not. For my whole life, I always tried to make my Mom happy. With my husband, I plan the future with him. The goal of my life is never to make my best friends happy. I never plan the future with my best friends. If they happen to be in the same path, it's great. If not, then I will move on.

That's why I don't understand how a best friend can be more than a mom or a husband. Can anyone enlighten me?
