your family are going great vs and your family are going great

The first phrase, 'your family are going great,' is incorrect. In this context, 'family' is a singular subject, so it would be 'your family is going great.' The second phrase, 'and your family are going great,' is also incorrect because 'and' does not change the subject-verb agreement. It should still be 'is' instead of 'are.'
