Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A passive-congenial marriage is characterized by a lack of intense emotional connection, but a practical partnership where both partners are friendly and courteous to each other. Therefore, practicality is more important in their marriage than emotional intensity. The other options imply a higher level of emotional connection and conflict resolution, which is not consistent with a passive-congenial marriage.
