| 0:36.6 | Before you had kids, I love you you was that powerful three-word phrase. |
| 0:41.5 | You said it to your future wife or your future husband and you loved hearing it. But now there's |
| 0:46.9 | another phrase even more beautiful. It's these three words, as a family. As in let's go for a walk as a family. Let's go to Disneyland as a family. |
