History Heartwarming / TheAddamsFamily

** "Who cares about the world out there and what it wants from you? When you're an Addams, [[BeYourself you do what Addams always do!]]"

'''Morticia:''' [[HappilyMarried You have to really love your wife!]]\\

* Any point when Gomez is expresses his undying ([[JustForPun undead]]?) love and Morticia. Even the pure lust, despite crossing into [[Funny/TheAddamsFamily funny]].

** The fact they're donating family relics to be sold in a charity auction in the first place, meant for widows and orphans (as well as mental and physical handicaps, we later learn). While Morticia declares that [[BlackComedy "they need more of those",]] she makes it clear that the Addams are willing to help them financially.

** More so when you realize that she's threatening him. If you're not who you say you are, here's where you end up. That's how much she loves this family, she'll murder for them. She'll even enjoy it.

** Moreover, it's implied that she fell in love with Itt because unlike her first husband, who barely paid her any attention, [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Itt was a gentleman who treated her right and listened to her]].
* Wednesday provides a good few moments.

** Crossed with FridgeBrilliance: Both Wednesday's full knowledge of and interest in the Bermuda Triangle likely confirmed to the Addamses that Gordon really was Fester with amnesia the whole time once he got all his memories back.

* Gomez is interviewing the future Addams, who mentions how he wants to become a medical examiner to be allowed to look inside people without them being able to object. And at that moment, Gomez gives him a big bear hug, immediately accepting him as a future son-in-law.

* The boy accepts Wednesday for her abnormalities, loving her just the way she is.

* A meta-example: In 1994, ''Magazine/TVGuide'' asked its readers to name the top five romantic couples in the history of television, with the advisory that these couples had to display what was a truly supportive, compassionate, and most of all, loving relationship that didn't feel false, forced, or pretended. The readers named Gomez and Morticia Addams as the greatest television marriage ever, with over twice the votes of the second-place couple, Rob and Laura Petrie of ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow''.
** Not only that, but actual relationship therapists have ranked Gomez and Morticia Addams as having probably the healthiest marriage of any couple in television history. They are very devoted to each other while still managing to maintain their own separate identities, meaning that neither one of them is always "folding" to the wishes of the other. They are secure enough in the relationship to have their own separate hobbies, interests, and friends without feeling threatened. On the rare occasions when a conflict arises between them, they focus on fixing the problem rather than attacking each other. And they constantly offer praise, gratitude, and encouragement to each other while resisting the urge to complain about and criticize each other.
** It's been pointed out many times that the Addams Family was supposed to be a ''subversion'' of the kind of squeaky-clean, all-American, Father-Knows-Best family that was prevalent in television during the era. It says something that the family that's meant to be the total opposite of the norm included a husband-wife duo who were passionately in love, equal partners in their marriage, and rarely ever argued or tried to deceive one another.

** There's a moment in the Brazilian dub, when Fester confesses he's been happy for but also envious of Gomez and Morticia and wanted someone for himself. Instead of saying [[ADateWithRosiePalms "There's Thing"]] like in English Dub, Gomez replies matter-of-factly that there's no shame in it. As in, [[Film/StreetFighter OF COURSE!]] [[CaptainObvious Fester would be envious;]] Gomez knows [[OneTrueLove what he has,]] [[HappilyMarried and any man would be insane]] [[BabiesEverAfter if they didn't to want the same.]]

* Speaking of the charity auction. It's understated to the rest of the plot, but the whole course of events is the perfect proof that for all their [[NightmareFetishist "spooky and kooky" lifestyle]], [[CreepyGood the Addamses]] [[DarkIsNotEvil are good people.]]

*** One could also interpret that Debbie's obsession with living a [[[[Literature/TheStepfordWives shallow Stepford Wife lifestyle]] is what's stopping her from realizing [[DramaticIrony she could have achieved the happiness she craved.]] She had a NighInvulnerable [[HappilyMarried loving husband]] [[NightmareFetishist who actually ''enjoyed'']] her BlackWidow murder attempts (much like Gomez with Morticia), [[Fiction500 all the money she could ever want]] and [[BestFriendsInLaw a family that would be both willing and happy to accept her (a homicidal maniac) as a sister-in-law]]. Much like Tully in the first movie, her EvilPlan and BitchInSheepsClothing act was AllForNothing. Worst, she caused distress and rift in the Addams Family by forcing Fester to engage in that same hollow lifestyle, when one of the Addams Family's greatest values is BeYourself.

** Plus, when she's introduced to Debbie and shows off her's and her husband Cousin Itt's baby, named What, her response to Debbie's bewilderment is a solid 24-karat Addams-ism. If that doesn't prove she's part of the family, nothing could.

** The moment they first see each other is notable in its own way. When they first lock eyes, Joel is completely awestruck, and even though Wednesday retains her usual cold expression, it visibly softens for a moment.

* A meta-example: In 1994, ''Magazine/TVGuide'' asked its readers to name the top five romantic couples in the history of television, with the advisory that these couples had to display what was a truly supportive, compassionate, and most of all loving relationship that didn't feel false, forced, or pretended. The readers named Gomez and Morticia Addams as the greatest television marriage ever, with over twice the votes of the second-place couple, Rob and Laura Petrie of ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow''.

* The Addamses' devotion to Lurch, as evidenced in the episodes "Mother Lurch Visits", "Lurch and His Harpsichord", "Lurch Learns to Dance", and "Lurch's Little Helper"
* The fact that in the comic Gomez is the only one of the two parents ever seen showing Wednesday any affection makes their interactions in the films strangely poignant.
* Quite a lot of episodes of their various shows have them unconditionally accepting and helping anyone who happens to show up at their door, even if it's in their own, unconventional way.

*** Gomez apologizing to Fester for driving him away years ago, leading to his disappearance. Despite thinking he's Gordon, Fester says "it's all in the past".

** Also PlayedForLaughs, as Gordon!Fester is terrified to see a disembodied hand grabbing his leg.

** 'Gordon' finding himself struggling with his mother's plot as his bond with the family deepens; even if he weren't really Fester, he's at home among the Addams. The finale just seals it, as he saves Gomez and Morticia and dispatches his mother and Tully following one last bout of abuse from 'Mother'.

*** In the event Gordon is aware that he is the ''real'' Fester after all, his looking around and trying to remember his past life is this as he then genuinely wants to be able to integrate back into it, whether or not he fears incuring Craven's wrath by doing so.
** After the kids' play scene, the rest of the family jump to their feet for a standing ovation.
* When the family is searching for Wednesday and Gomez finds her asleep in the crypt. Being careful not to wake her, Gomez gently picks her up and carries her back to the house.
** Also earlier, as the family is riding back home from the charity auction, Wednesday has fallen asleep on Gomez's lap.

** The relic itself is an ancient and rare Chinese finger-trap. Margaret, for all she finds the Addams disturbing at first, is marveled and even a little hesitant for them to donate such an extravagant piece.
** During the actual auction, Gomez and Morticia end up acquiring the Chinese finger-trap back due to their public tryst. It's easy to overlook it from all the funny public and spicy CasualKink spicy going on, but Gomez and Morticia just bid ''50.000 dollars'' on an auction [[RefugeInAudacity for a piece they already owned and donated in the first place.]] Also noteworthy is that the bidding started at the low price of one thousand dollars. Gomez is the one who bid higher (25.000). Yes, it was likely to get Morticia excited, but still. He got to please his wife AND help people in need.

* Wednesday. Uncle Fester is tucking her into bed after her play and telling her how wonderful she and Pugsley were, and reciting stories from the Bermuda Triangle with promises to take her there one day. After he gives her a forehead kiss good night, she takes out a headless doll for him to kiss as well, and then the head of the aforementioned doll for him to kiss. Only then does she settle down to sleep.

** Crossed with FridgeBrilliance: Both Wednesday's full knowledge and interest of the Bermuda Triangle likely confirmed to the Addamses that Gordon really was Fester with Amnesia the whole time once he got all his memories back.

** It adheres to how strong the bond between Wednesday and Pugsley as siblings is already when they not only team up against Pubert, but Wednesday after ripping the head off her baby doll then gives it to Pugsley without a second thought.

** Could also be taken another way: later in the film we see the baby getting 'ill' and becoming very normal. Do they turn on it? No, they embrace the child as still being their own child, and care for it without any differences, even redecorating it's room and reading it Dr Seuss stories with happy endings. All of which just proves that the child doesn't even have be 'Addamsy' to be an Addams, it's theirs no matter what, and nothing will change that.

** To elaborate, when Wednesday and Pugsley return and see Fester has come back, Pugsley immediately runs to his uncle and hugs him. And while at first it seems like Wednesday's going to hold a grudge against Fester for his betrayal, he only has to apologize before she too rushes to hug him.

** Heck, that's [[BlueAndOrangeMorality probably why they accepted her as an Addams]]! If anyone could understand Debbie's murderous tendencies, it'd be the Addamses. They even express regret they didn't get to know her better. Truth be told, she probably would have fit right into the family if she hadn't had an agenda--indeed, when she shows them the slideshow of why she murdered her parents and numerous husbands, they're all completely understanding of her actions. Morticia even had tears in her eyes as she agreed with Debbie's question of 'didn't she deserve love...and jewelry?'

*** One could also interpret that Debbie's obsession with living a [[[[Literature/TheStepfordWives shallow Stepford Wife lifestyle]] is what's stopping her from realizing [[DramaticIrony she could have achieved the happiness she craved.]] She had a NighInvulnerable [[HappilyMarried loving husband]] [[NightmareFetishist who actually ''enjoyed'']] her BlackWidow murder attempts (much like Gomez with Morticia), [[Fiction500 all the money she could ever want]] and [[BestFriendsInLaw a family that would be both willing and happy to accept her (a homicidal maniac) as a sister-in-law]]. Much like Tully in the first movie, her EvilPlan and BitchInSheepsClothing act was AllForNothing. Worst, she caused distress and rift in the Addams Family by forcing Fester to engage in that same hollow lifestyle, when the Addams Family's greatest values is BeYourself.

* Wednesday's furious reaction when RichBitch Amanda makes derogatory and elitist comments about Fester's plan to marry Debbie, because she's the nanny. While it's the overall insult to her family that angers her most of all, it's still clear that her dislike of Debbie is because she correctly suspects that she's no good, not because of her lower social status.

* A subtle one, but when Gomez and Morticia confront Debbie over Fester supposedly disowning them. While in the first movie the family were in constant doubts over Fester's true feelings and ties, here they know him by heart well enough to instantly tell when he is being sincere or manipulated.

** An example of this is when Morticia is reading Pubert ''Literature/TheCatInTheHat''. She clearly hates it but still asks Pubert if he's enjoying the story and expresses her distaste that her own child would be this way, but she still finishes the book because she wants him to be happy.

* Gomez's toast during Pubert's 1st birthday party at the end. Particularly his romantic back-and-forth with Morticia.

* Gomez is interviewing the future Addams, who mentions how he wants to become a medical examiner to be allowed to look inside people without them being able to object. And in that moment, Gomez gives him a big bear hug, immediately accepting him as a future son in law.

* The boy accepting Wednesday for her abnormalities, loving her just the way she is.
