Reply To: Romantic songs

mindover:

1. I don’t think listening will increase your love for your spouse. I just don’t think they are treif. I don’t think they are the same as vulgar songs or lyrics.

2. I don’t know which halachos you are referring to.

3. I don’t listen to non-jewish music. In fact, I barely listen to any music. If I do, I like carlebach, MBD, and lipa. Nice mix, huh? The tzad hashaveh is they sound like they mean what they are saying. In general, my biggest criticism of jewish music is that so much of it is mindless and meaningless. I don’t know why they bother putting words to them.

A couple of times, I have heard non-jewish romantic songs, and yes, I did think about Hashem.

4. Respect is not love.
