Commentary

“Love and Marriage” is a popular song sung by Frank Sinatra. Although this wasn’t one of the earliest recordings by the popular singer, its themes seem pretty antiquated now. It includes phrases like “love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage” and “you can’t have one without the other.” You can’t have love without marriage?! It may sound preposterous compared to the current ideas of casual dating, which often leads to living together without even the thought of marriage. However, this “old-fashioned” idea was very common not long ago.
