Phil and Claire, Gloria and Jay, Cam and Mitchell. The sitcom had some relationship lessons, and more than few. Spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned.
Hailey could not move beyond Dylan. The eldest Dunphy girl had the potential to spread her sass as fashion designer. She lost her individuality because she put her relationship with Dylan before her dreams.
No hurdle could prevent Phil from supporting Claire’s return to work. Claire revived her sense of being at work. And Phil deserves his due credit for it.
Mitchell and Cameroon had each other during their every goofy step in the show. Quirks keep the relationship fun, alive and kicking.
Gloria and Jay made efforts to keep their charm alive. Jay decided to take Spanish lessons at the end of ‘Queer Eyes, Full Hearts’ to make Gloria happy. Later in season 11, Jay tried taking Spanish lessons again. Gloria was full of love, obviously.
Claire and Phil celebrated every Valentine’s Day together and always made sure to go to a nice restaurant. Their role-play in which Claire pretended to be a woman named Julianna, whereas Phil was Clive Bixby really made them love each other more.
Phil and Claire were a united front when it came to looking after their children. One example was in the fifth season episode ‘iSpy’ when they thought that Luke was doing drugs. They spied on him together and learned that he was just making a movie.
