"Love and Marriage" was introduced by Frank Sinatra in the 1955 television production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town , which aired on Producers' Showcase . Sinatra went on to record two versions of the song. The first was recorded for Capitol Records on August 15, 1955, [2] and became a major chart hit. (A competing version by Dinah Shore also achieved popularity.) This first recording appeared on the 1956 album This Is Sinatra! [3] The second version was recorded for the Reprise Records album A Man and His Music on October 11, 1965. [4] The Capitol version was later used as the theme song for the 1987–1997 Fox TV sitcom Married... with Children . [5]
Although both versions were arranged by Nelson Riddle, [6] there are many slight but noticeable differences. For instance:

The recording by Bing Crosby was the B-side of the Victor Young version in 1957, on Festival SP45-1274 in Australia, and was a joint charting success.
