Moral relativism has ALWAYS been at the core of libertarianism.
Again, morality is not relative, it's adaptive. Even supposed moral absolutists complete change their supposed moral absolutes from generation to generation.

I'm not saying "let's all sing kumbayah and love each other", I'm wondering what a modern conservativism that meaningfully advocated family values would look like.

What on earth??? Murder isn’t murder any more? Adultery isn’t adultery any more?

You’re insane.

A lot like old time conservatism because that's the ONLY thing that advocates family values.

Unadulterated horse hockey.

If the morals changed, they weren't absolutes.

A difference without distinction.

Actually, they don't.

No, you are promoting something far more dangerous.

Conservatives are the only ones that do advocate family values.
