Throughout the course of my life, I’ve attended more than four-hundred weddings. And after a while, you start to notice some similarities.

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston … with Parenting Today’s Teens.

At weddings, people are always making speeches. And in four hundred ceremonies, I’ve never heard a mom stand up and say, “Oh, I love my daughter because she remembers all the things I taught her in life.” I’ve never seen a bride get up and say, “Mom, remember when you used to correct me all the time?”

But you know what I do hear? “Mom, Dad, I’m so grateful for the time we spent together.”

Ten years down the road … what will your child say about you? At the end of the day, they’ll remember the time you spend … more than the words you say.
