5 Reasons Morticia & Gomez’s Love Is the Best

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CNU chapter.

When you ask people who their favorite movie or TV couple is, you’d probably get the same responses: Jim & Pam, Jack & Rebecca, Ross & Rachel, Chandler & Monica, Damon & Elana, Noah & Allie, Han & Leia, Ron & Hermione, Melanie & Jake, Johnny & Baby… the list could go on.

But you know who’s my favorite?

That’s right. Morticia and Gomez.

They’re just perfect. And here’s why. (Note: if you want a more serious take on this, check out Harris O’Malley’s article about them. I don’t agree with all of his reasoning, but then again I’m not even in a relationship so do I really have a valid opinion?)

They support their children.

Everyone’s kids can be weird. But when Wednesday and Pugsley do their horrible acting performance (complete with severed limbs and fake blood spattered across the audience), Morticia and Gomez are more than smiles for their odd children, clapping hysterically for them.

They support each other.

Even when Gomez eff’s up (which is a lot), Morticia forgives him and loves him. This one’s a no brainer.

Morticia speaks French.

Okay, if you know me, you know I took French in high school. Speaks for itself, imo.

They’re not afraid to be weird.

Case in point.

Gomez is confident enough in his masculinity to tell his wife how he really feels about her.

Actually, er, show her. (Gomez’s moustache is kinda weird, though, I’ll give yah that.)

And there yah have it, folks.

*I will say that Harry and Sally are my second favorite couple. Mainly because they’re funny. But that’s all.*

She also serves as the Victim Advocate and Community Outreach Coordinator for Isle of Wight Co., VA in Victim Witness Services. Within Her Campus, she served as a Chapter Writer for CNU for one year, a Campus Expansion Assistant for a semester, Campus Correspondent for two years, and is in the middle of her second semester as a Chapter Advisor.  You can find her in the corner of a subway-tiled coffee shop somewhere, investigating identity experiences of members of Black Greek Letter Organizations at Primarily White Institutions as well as public perceptions of migrants and refugees. Or fantasizing about ziplining arcoss the French Alps.
