Here’s a list of 10 songs that convey love the way God intended which married couples can enjoy.
1. Good Love — David and Tamela Mann
Kicking off the list is David and Tamela Mann’s first single, “Good Love” off of their first duet album, Us against the world. The song highlights the couple’s soulful harmonies and the journey of their long-lasting love.

“When you see Jay Z and Beyonce, [you think], OK, marriage is cool now. They set a trend and I think that’s healthy,” he explained. “It’s just continuing with that trend of — what if we’re monogamous? What if we’re consistent in our relationships? What if we tell the truth? What if we don’t lie? What if we don’t cheat? What if we love somebody and we’re not afraid to say it in a hip-hop song? You’ve gotta continue to set trends and be different.”
“By my side, thick and thin/Highs and lows, don’t let go/We gone ride, we gone win/Don’t know how, all I know/ All I need is you,” the Texas natives song proclaims.

Christian music legend Michael W. Smith certainly has a voice of an angel and in his song “You Belong to Me,” off of his album Wonder, the crooner sings of his love-at-first-sight encounter with his wife, Debbie.
“I’ve had all these love songs for Deb, but I don’t think I’ve really specifically written one that went back to how we met,” Smith said in a past interview with Jesusfreakhideout.com. “I was at the Benson Record Company, I called my mom, I’d seen the girl I’m gonna marry, still haven’t met her, she’s in the women’s restroom. So I’m hanging out at the women’s restroom at Benson Record Company, she walks out, she’s got jeans on, a T-shirt, 5′-3,” 100 pounds, I just thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with this girl and she doesn’t even know it.’ I said, ‘Hey, haven’t I seen you somewhere before?’ Or some stupid line. And she went out with me three nights later.
“Then the song scoots ahead to when she said yes. It wasn’t in the moonlight, wasn’t on a mountain top. She came to my place one night, we had dinner, we were sitting there with the dog, and I said, ‘You think we’ll get married one day?’ ‘I don’t know. Maybe.’ I said, ‘You wanna get married?’ She says, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘Let’s get married.’ She said, ‘OK.’ You know how everybody comes up with these romantic things and the moonlight—open five boxes to finally get to the ring? I didn’t even have a ring. I just had to write about it.”
