This past spring, I was in a production of "The Addams Family" and noticed how much I loved Gomez and Morticia’s relationship. The musical focuses on Wednesday’s relationship with a boy but also shows the first time Gomez lies to his wife, Morticia. His lie is a shock because in the 50 years since the first show appeared on ABC there has always been an open and truthful dialogue between the two. In the end, all is forgiven and they go back to being worthy of #couplegoals.
Morticia and Gomez may seem like the most unlikely of couples to look up to but their relationship transcends any you might see on TV today. While most couples on television fight in order to get some laughs, Morticia and Gomez get along perfectly without missing a comedic beat. All the while, they are raising two children. Not just “TV Show Parenting”; they are helping with schoolwork and are always there to support and guide their children. Even with two kids, they always put forth an effort to stay in the honeymoon phase. They exemplify the ideals of a perfect relationship.
1. They always put time aside to do what they love.
2. They never let the other doubt their love.
3. They know what makes the other happy.
4. They find love in the smallest things.
5. They want to help each other achieve their dreams.
6. They comfort their children together.
7. They openly express their love.
8. Their love doesn't fit anyone else’s standards but their own.
