Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage.
It's an old song.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_and_Marriage

Basically, it means that just as a horse and carriage go together (are associated with one another), so are love and marriage. The song was obviously written when this was more or less true.

It was the theme song for an American TV show, Married with Children.

Here's Frank Sinatra singing it:

Thank you Raymott. Does the sentence generally imply the meaning that "we should marriage with someone with whom we fall in love"?

 

[Raymott]

It generally means that if two people are in love, they should get married. I imagine a man singing it to a women in an attempt to get her to marry him. (How times have changed! This was written at a time when various degrees of physical intimacy were only socially acceptable within marriage).

PS: Does the sentence generally imply the meaning that "we should marry someone with whom we fall in love"?

The words of line 4 of that song might have given you a clue - "You can't have one without the other".
