Some of these are sweet and sentimental. Others are great because they give a picture of how tough it can be to stay together through the years.
There are benefits that come with working to keep a relationship going. Some of these songs are just general relationship songs that would fit into the theme.
** Most are available on CD or to download as MP3, though links may be to one or the other. Again, be careful of titles. There may be different songs with the same title.
(Happy to be) Stuck With You Lyrics - Huey Lewis And The News
Forever and Ever Amen—Randy Travis
Let's Stay Together - Al Green

A friend suggested using one of the songs for that point in a wedding when the DJ has all the married couples come out on the dance floor to see which couple has been married the longest. "If you've been married fewer than five years, leave the dance floor. ... Now if you've been married fewer than ten years..." And so on.
What songs would you add to the lists?

(Lyle Lovett sings the song on the tribute CD)Excerpt from song:
I wish I had a dime for every bad time
but the bad times always seem to keep the change
You been all alone so you know what I'm sayin'
so when all you can recall is the pain
Just you wait until tomorrow when you wake up with me
at your side and find I haven't lied about nothin'
I wouldn't trade a tree for the way I feel about you
in the mornin', anyhow I love you
Everyday it gets just a little bit better
And half the gettin' there is knowin' where I been before
I'm sure you understand 'cause I ain't your first man
so when you feel like runnin' for the back door...don't ....
I Keep On Lovin' You, Reba McEntire
Keep on Loving You
CDExcerpt from song:
Love takes the patience of Job
That's what my Mama always said
Faith is the belief in something more than what you know
That's what the Good Book says
You gotta play the cards you got
Who knows what fate is holding
At times you gotta go without knowing where you're going
That's why I keep on lovin' you
I keep on lovin' you
Through the baby don't leave mes
And never will agains
And I promise tos
I keep on lovin' you
Still the one, Shania Twain
is available on different CDs, there's a live version.Excerpt from Song:
...They said, I bet they'll never make it.
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
You're My Home, Billy Joel
On Joel's classic CD, Songs In The Attic
Excerpt from song:
...Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
You're my home.

Remember When, Alan Jackson,
on Greatest Hits 2
Excerpt from song:
... Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when
Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when
Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when ....
