Amicable Relations Describes Friendly Peaceful In Laws Generally Bickering

word amicable
definition Friendly, peaceful.
eg_sentence Their relations with their in-laws were generally amicable, despite some bickering during the holidays.
explanation Amicable often describes relations between two groups, or especially two nations—for example, the United States and Canada, which are proud of sharing the longest unguarded border in the world. So we often speak of an amicable meeting or an amicable settlement. When amicable describes more personal relations, it may indicate a rather formal friendliness. But it's always nice when two friends who've been quarreling manage to have an amicable conversation and to say amicable good-byes at the end
