Gomez and Morticia are NOT a perfect couple.
I'm being a wee bit picky but they're really not perfect.
I'll be brief but! Canonically (as loose as canon is in TAF):
They have very poor communication skills as a couple in the 1964 tv show, majority of the show is basically them miscommunicating. It works because it's a sitcom and this is glossed over but in real life this would impact their relationship in a significant and probably negative way
Then you have 1991 movie and Gomez Addams utter inability to deal with life problems. He gets instantly depressed and just leaves Morticia to deal with everything herself. In Addams Family Values, he literally decides to DIE because Fester marries Debbie and abandons the family. I mean.... hello. So it seems that this behaviour was completely unaddressed for like what?.... 15 -20 years of their marriage?
And no, these are not minor issues, these are serious issues but you know what wins?
Their utter love and devotion to each other? You would never see them being disrespectful towards each other, no matter what. Yes, they're not perfect, they have issues but I'm 100% sure they'd work them out, because they're just so so madly commited to each other. They never bitch about one another to other people. They'd never blame each other, even if that blame would be justified, because they know blaming each other is never a solution.
And that's what I love about them, they work hard on their marriage, they don't settle and don't take each other for granted, they keep the romance up, they openly adoring each other
They are the embodiment of the fact that love is not a feeling, love it doing.

Here's an interesting fact for you: Carolyn Jones, who played Morticia Addams in the popular TV series "The Addams Family," wore a ring on set that only cost 6 dollars. According to her husband, Peter Bailey Britton, one of Carolyn's close friends was interested in the ring, thinking it was made of diamonds. Despite its low cost, the ring was a unique piece of jewelry that added to Carolyn's distinctive style as the beloved matriarch of the Addams family.
