Exclamation Salvar diferencias

It means that when two or more people are different or think in a different way they have to salvar las diferencias, para no pelearse o discutir mucho.
English?

settle their differences es lo más parecido que se me ocurre, aunque no es exactamente "salvar sus diferencias" más bien resolverlas.
Put aside their differences ¿quizás?

You can also say : make amends. Also come to accords
Idiomatically you can say: kiss and make up.
You can also say: bury the hatchet
also: smoke the peace pipe.

I think there's more.

come to terms

I do believe that "settle their differences" is the most accurate.

Agree to differ, ¿no?

Para mi "settle their differences" puede ser pelear para decidir el asunto, y no me parece que eso sea lo que Robin quiere decir.

To compromise is also similar in meaning.
