Question difference between two sentences

Hi ,
I posted two sentences: Give our love to your family / give your family our love

I asked about the difference between the two sentences and I was told that the first sentence emphasises " our love" and the second sentence emphasises " your family"
What´s the difference ? what does the speaker meant by the first and the second sentence ?

Thanks

I don't see that difference. The meanings are the same to me. They are both common closings to letters and long-distance phone calls.

I would say one is grammatical and the other one is very informal language.
"Give our love to your family" is more of a structure oriented one whereas "Give your family our love" doesn't bother too much about structure.
However, both imply the same meaning
