    Best regards,
    Here is one of its usages: We use "should" to give advice.
    e.g. You should brush your teeth before going to bed.
    You shouldn't smoke if you want to be healthy.

    Could you please check this sentense if correct?

    "We believe now is the best time should spend and share happy moments with your family."

    Thank you!

    Thank you!

    Best regards,
    I'd say like this:We believe now it's the best time you (should) spend and share the happy moments with your family.

    Simplify. Try:
    We believe now is the best time to spend happy moments with your family.
