The institution of marriage stands as a sacred and cherished covenant, serving as the cornerstone of society for generations. It provides a vital foundation for strong families and plays a crucial role in nurturing well-adjusted children.
Annually, Louisiana Family Forum (LFF) honors the state’s longest-married couples to promote healthy marriages, strengthen cultural support for this institution, and highlight the community-wide benefits of lifelong commitment. This recognition celebrates enduring unions that exemplify traditional values like loyalty, resilience, and the enduring strength of family bonds. By honoring these couples, LFF not only underscores the significance of lasting matrimony but also reaffirms timeless principles that strengthen communities.
LFF proudly announces that Ira and Margery Milan of New Orleans are Louisiana’s Longest Married Couple for the 2025 LFF Marriage Hall of Fame. The couple marked their 83rd wedding anniversary on January 17, 2025, continuing their legacy as living testaments to the power of dedication in marriage.
