I'm not sure what the author is trying to convey, and why he calls that conservatism. I'm not sure how social policies favouring good social and emotional health for people to enable them to have prosperous and stable relationships have anything to do with conservatism. I for one would not qualify such policies like that. My cynical belief is that the author possesses much more "taboo" conservative beliefs which he justifies with this argument, but hopefully I'm wrong.
