WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't take this fight to heart; every married couple bickers from time to time.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Normalizing Domestic Bickering

Traditional Chinese mediation often views bickering as an inevitable friction in married life (akin to teeth and tongue biting each other), encouraging patience rather than dissolution.
