7 Tips from THE ADDAMS FAMILY to Keep Your Marriage Alive

Morticia and Gomez might be obsessed with death, but they keep their romance very much alive!

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright explain how Morticia and Gomez's relationship in the 1990's Barry Sonnenfeld version of The Addams Family illustrates the principles from John Gottman's Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. They talk about the commitment and priority they place on their relationship, the brilliant comedy and acting from Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston, and what we can learn from all of it.
