Music can be a great couples therapist. Music always finds a way to move people. The right songs can motivate, comfort or inspire. Some songs manage to touch you and make you think differently.
When it comes to Love songs is at stake, there is no shortage of songs.
When you meet someone for the first time, you have butterflies in your stomach and your chest aches with Longing. Many songs are about broken hearts and the Pain of love when you are not loved back.
Some songs address long relationships and marriage. The first rush is replaced by something less insane in long-term love, characterized by trust, intimacy, and commitment. Couples who have lived happily together for years often speak of forgiveness, of patient minutes when they listened, even when they were burned out.
Your partner understands you like no other and cares for you lovingly. All this is deeper and more complex than the thrill of the early days.
There is little singing about long-term relationships and marriage in pop music. How many songs do you know about marriage? Sure, we hear plenty of songs about love in the early days and promises after the engagement, but how many songs deal with longer-term relationships and marriage?
We have found 91 songs that are about marriage and long-term love relationships. Have fun with it!
