So sitting in church yesterday I learned it was World Marriage Day. How fitting, considering I was hoping to write a post of Sunday songs full of love in anticipation for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday....During this particular mass, the priest was renewing the vows of couples that have been married for 20+ years. They went through the different milestones (20 years, 30 years, etc.) and at the end, the entire congregation was surprised when he announced a couple that has spent 71 years of their life together. 71 years! I started thinking about that...That means they were married around 1938. I can't even begin to imagine how much they have experienced together. And to me, that is absolutely amazing. In a world that sometimes feels filled with hatred, divorce and infidelity, I am glad there are couples like this defying the odds.
This playlist, full of some of my all-time favorite love songs, is dedicated to that couple, whatever their names may be...

Great list, Lauren.
There's another great country song that I love that would fit here. I don't know who it is by, but it says "Two Hearts, one love, that's us." It's very touching.
Great post! I'll have to download some of the songs I don't know.
What a great list of love songs...perfect for saps like me! I personally love "The Luckiest." It's so sweet :)
