Is it UNHEALTHY to NEVER fight with your significant other?

I've heard that fighting with your significant other is healthy for your relationship because if something is bothering you, you can't hold it in, you have to talk to them and tell them what is bothering you, and sometimes that causes a fight. But is the opposite true? If you NEVER fight with your significant other, is that UNHEALTHY?
I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, and we have never been in a fight. Sure, we've disagreed on some things and had a few arguments, but we've never had a "fight" to the point of yelling and/or not talking to each other. Is that unnatural? Or are we just extremely compatible? We are both very easy-going and we don't let little things bother us. Is anyone else in a relationship like that?

It has happened that my partner and I got into arguments, over very small, stupid things, that we shouldn't have been fighting over in the first place. But I think it's healthy that we get mad at each other, or that anyone gets angry in their intimate relationship. I think that fighting and arguing is one aspect that makes the relationship healthy. It doesn't mean that you don't love your partner, it just means that maybe something s/he does annoys and that's all.

I think if something is bothering you, then say it. And I think fighting with a significant other is healthy, because, seriously, who doesn't EVER have a fight with their SO? I think there are good & bad ways to handle a fight..
