domestic bliss

Happy home life

Domestic bliss is the idealized state of happy, harmonious home life—a peaceful household where family members live contentedly together.

The phrase often carries a touch of irony, acknowledging the gap between this rosy image and messier reality: They settled into domestic bliss, at least until the in-laws arrived.

Someone might retreat from domestic bliss to work, or claim to have found it after years of turbulent relationships.
