domestic harmony
Family life tranquility
Domestic harmony is peaceful coexistence within a household—family members getting along without frequent conflict or tension.
The phrase often appears in discussions of what makes marriages or family life successful: They worked hard to maintain domestic harmony.
It can sound slightly old-fashioned or formal, sometimes used ironically when peace is fragile or recently disturbed.
