It was introduced by Frank Sinatra in the 1955 television production Our Town that aired on Producers' Showcase. He went on to have a major 1955 chart hit with it. A competing version by Dinah Shore also achieved popularity.

In 1956 the Song Love and Marriage won the Emmy for Best Musical Contribution from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

The Sinatra version was later used as the theme song for the long-running 1980s/1990s sitcom Married... with Children.

The music, with the words "soup and sandwich," were used in broadcast advertisements for Campbell Soup.
