Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gottman refers to conflict-avoiding couples as those who avoid disagreements and attempt to minimize conflict as much as possible, which is the opposite of volatile couples who engage in frequent and intense arguments. Stable couples are those who have important skills to manage conflicts effectively, but they still have disagreements. Aggressive couples are those who engage in hurtful behaviors and seek to control each other, and they are not studied by Gottman as a healthy relationship style.
