In the event of a divorce, how do couples determine the fate of their shared home? Are there unconventional strategies or emotional considerations that often influence decisions regarding property division, especially when one partner has a stronger attachment to the house?

It happens all the time.
One partner really wants the house at all costs and loses sight of the bigger picture. They end up with a house they can’t really afford to run and don’t need while the other party ends up with a greater share of the other assets and moves on.

From a negotiation point of view it can be quite good for the party that isn’t so tunnel visioned as they can end up with a better deal as their ex is prepared to give up more to get the asset they are focussed on.
