Getting engaged is one of the most exciting experiences in a person's life. The whole world finally has more of an understanding of how deep and unconditional your love is for each other. After all, you have officially promised to spend the rest of eternity with that special person!
For many Christians, getting engaged is also a time for the couple to seek religious guidance.
Here are 10 Bible quotes that any couple anxious to say "I Do" should read.
