Depends on what you consider a fight and how long you’re together. In the first few months? Definitely normal not to fight. After 20 years, you’ll have had a few brawls. It’s how you know resolve them that makes or breaks you.

It is unlikely that you will agree on everything. Given enough time, a bit of stress, and some sleep deprivation, it’s inevitable that a disagreement will occur.
The “all relationships have fights” idea is rooted in the idea that total lack of disagreement can point to a communication problem, that is, spouses don’t share their opinion and feelings fully, which leads to a longer term resentment and long term problems.
If you're happy then who cares.
As long as you feel able to raise and resolve any issues, then you're fine.
I've been married for 34 years. We've never fought, as in, we've never yelled at each other. There's been very few times we've disagreed on something, but on those times, we've had a discussion from each of our point of views and we've come to final understanding of the issue. That could mean one sided view prevailed over the others, or we met somewhere in the middle.
The ability to discuss things without taking them as an attack is the key to happiness. If your spouse doesn't think you need to wash dishes right after making them dirty, but you think the opposite, you both need to internally decide if you can live with the others belief. If you are fine with the dirty dishes, then go about your day. It's just not worth it to make that a problem.
My wife is my absolute best friend and I'd never wreck that friendship. (plus we get to boink soon that's a plus too)
Wait until you find out about make up sex you'll be starting fight just to get that sweet sweet rough lovin'.
