Marriage serves as a cornerstone of society, providing the foundation for strong families and nurturing well-adjusted children. Each year, Louisiana Family Forum (LFF) honors the state’s longest-married couples to celebrate healthy marriages, strengthen cultural support for lifelong commitment, and highlight the community-wide benefits these enduring unions bring.
This recognition celebrates couples who exemplify traditional values—loyalty, resilience, and strong family bonds. By honoring these marriages, LFF reaffirms the timeless principles that strengthen our communities.
LFF is proud to announce that Leland and Gussie LaCaze of Robeline are Louisiana’s Longest Married Couple for the 2026 Marriage Hall of Fame. The couple celebrates 79 years of Covenant Marriage, standing as a living testament to the power of dedication and commitment.
