It appears that it was released the same week as Frank Sinatra's version -- October 1, 1955 -- http://books.google.com/books?id=GCMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA58&lpg=PA58&dq=%22love+and+marriage%22+%22dinah+shore%22+1955+billboard&source=bl&ots=be25sduocG&sig=Z6sLDUMEMTrGcUxUdF_W7_L9fM4&hl=en&ei=pT2jTpHNN86osAL_mZjGBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CEkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22love%20and%20marriage%22%20%22dinah%20shore%22%201955%20billboard&f=false

'Love and Marriage'/'Compare' was released on RCA Victor in two formats -

78 -- RCA Victor 20-6266
45 -- RCA Victor 47-6266

Unfortunately, no dates here --
http://www.78discography.com/RCA206000.htm -- 78s
http://www.globaldogproductions.info/r/rca-47-6000.html -- 45s

I couldn't find anything more exact -

This might have the details, but I'd try to contact the authors to see if the book has that information -- http://books.google.com/books?id=3rJNHAAACAAJ&dq=%22dinah+shore%22+discography&hl=en&ei=NFKjToXIK4mLsgLqubmABQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CEoQ6AEwBA
