She told the Rachael and the audience (and the nation, when the show airs tomorrow):

"I've never been closer to the Lord since I met him. He's really made me read my Bible. He's made me actually read the stories in the Bible -- not the quick little verses -- that not only help me, but show you how to help other people."

"Honestly, I didn't like him at first. I was like, 'Great, another song writer. This should be fun ... He's very cute, but I don't think he gets as much credit as he should because he's a really good guy."
