Hi, your family deserve the best or your family deserves the best You can say it either way. It depends on whether you are thinking of the family as individual people (eg my mother, my father, my brother and my two sisters) or as a unit. Similar words include team, government.

I agree. In BrE both 'deserve' and 'deseves' could be used, but in AmE, the preference is for 'deseves'.
