i heard people use this phrase, but i just want to make sure i got it right.
it goes something like:

que linda un regalo que Dios se dio.

How beautiful a gift God has given you both.

Thanks for the help.

Weird though it may sound, the "se" in that sentense is a "signo de cuasireflejo", and thus the English translation should be something like:

How beautiful a gift God has given himself!

The sentense is really odd in Spanish (and so is in English!). The translations you have proposed so far would be plausible translations for que linda un regalo que Dios les dio. Check if you meant "se" or "les", as meaning changes completely.
