In any marriage, you will have (valid) causes for arguments. My point
is that if you choose to let the small things slide most of the time,
it's more likely to result in a divorce.
If you, however, argue, it works out better in the long run. (To an
extent: If you just nitpick ceaselessly, that's probably not the best
thing to do).
You can't have a marriage where there won't be reasons to argue.

I was thinking the USA myself. As for the French, I don't know where civil
wars come into "peace first democracy later". :-)

In general, if you always agree on things all the time, no boundaries get
pushed, and that would make things (I imagine) quite dull.
Either that, or you end up with one person in the relationship always
setting the agenda, and the other becomes subservient. That's not
generally considered healthy.
Disagreement is a natural part of human existence.

So it's not impossible--just boring. And sometimes, people are ok with
boring.
If you'll excuse me, I have a few hundred nested glass spheres to render.
