Congratulations to the newlyweds! Here are some beautiful Bible verses that may encourage and inspire them as they seek to start a family:

Therefore also I have lent him to the Lord as long as he liveth, he shall be lent to the Lord, and shall not go up to the house of the Lord to worship." (KJV) (This verse speaks to the idea of surrendering our children to God's plan and timing.)
