When differences of opinion occur but are never discussed, feelings of annoyance and discomfort can accumulate until they finally appear as a much bigger conflict.
Competing with arguments occasionally can actually help couples understand each other's needs, discuss boundaries, and assess whether there are problems that need to be resolved early, before they can accumulate.
However, that does not mean that relationships without quarrels are automatically problematic. Relationships without quarrels include normal things as well, which could reflect mature communication patterns between partners.

Psychologist, Tera Jansen, also said that couples who do not fight may still have conflicts, but are always resolved in a healthy manner, by always understanding and respecting each other.
