There is something rather wholesome—and timely—about a family who looks and acts differently than anyone else around them, yet still considers themselves the perfect American family. The notion that a family doesn’t need to look like yours in order to have value should be the norm, and for the couple who head the Munster family, it absolutely is.
Sadly, for their neighbors, those differences stand out—something that feels all too familiar given the state of things right now. But that’s another post. This one is about celebrating Herman and Lily Munster in all their romantic perfection.
First of all, I have to congratulate Herman and Lily Munster for being married for 161 years. That level of commitment is something I can only dream of. I admire and respect a couple who willingly put in the work to make such a long-term relationship not only function, but truly thrive. It’s impossible to be around them and not see the utter joy and comfort they find in one another.
Herman, who happens to work at a funeral home of all places, lives for his family, and it shows—not only in every look and touch, but in the way he strives to give them the best possible life. Lily is the heart and soul of their family. She runs the home—and her husband, to a degree. Together, they are everything any of us could imagine a true partnership being.
I wish them another 161 happy years together.

I loved the Munsters.
I'm more of an Adams family fan but the Munsters never fail to make me laugh. 161 years is impressive!
I remember these two! I like how you compare these folks to people nowadays.
Mary, they are too underrated. I enjoy them more than the Addams Family.
Katherine, I can't even fathom that level of commitment.
Deb, what's happening right now makes me sick to my stomach.
That is one loooong marriage
Linda, Yes it is.
