 Meaning

Friendly, peacepul.

Sentence

Their relations with their in-laws were generally amicable despite some bickering during the holidays.

Commentary

Amicable often describes relations between two groups or especially two nations - for example, the United States and Canada, which are proud of sharing the longest unguared border in the world. When amicable describes personal relations, it tends to indicate a rather formal friendliness.
