When a teenage son or daughter is careening in the wrong direction, the pain can bond parents together … or rip the seams of their marriage in two.

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

Naturally, parents want to help their teens when they’re in trouble. But they also want to know how to keep their marriage from taking the same turn.

One thing I encourage husbands and wives to do is to build in some fun times together. No matter how stressful the situation with your teen is, it’s okay to still have fun. Especially with your spouse. Laugh and have fun together as often as you can … because there are many miles to go!

So what are you doing tonight? Yes, tonight! Mom, dad … go have a little fun.
