lovers' tiff
Couple's minor quarrel
A lovers' tiff is a minor quarrel between romantic partners—a brief spat over something trivial that blows over quickly.
The phrase implies the argument is more endearing than serious, the kind of small friction that comes with intimacy: They had a lovers' tiff about whose turn it was to do dishes.
