Following an argument, and regardless of who was right or wrong, my wife doesn't make up once the argument has been resolved.
Instead, she just "moves on" once remedial actions have been agreed, she does this without any kisses, cuddles, hugs or recognition that the argument is over.
Is this normal? Is this healthy? I must admit that it drives me nuts.

Do you hug/kiss/cuddle with your co-workers or the guys at the bar after you have an argument with them?
its quite normal, having an argument in a long term relationship and just moving on without the kissing or cuddling makeup thing after, suggests to me that she is quite comfortable in her relationship with you.
This does not sound right it sounds like she is still not ready for the situation to be properly resolved if she doesn't make u feel like it is.
What are you looking for? An apology? Or just an acknowledgement that she hurt your feelings? Or validation that you were right? It really depends on what it is you are looking for.
Some people have a very hard time forming the words "I'm sorry", even if they are genuinely very sorry. Maybe she says sorry it in a way she thinks tells you she is sorry but you don't recognize it. Some people use actions. Others use words. Maybe you are expecting a big hug and kiss and a talk about how your argument was and is now over. Maybe you are just expecting her to look you in the eye and say "I love you". You need to express your desires for closure to her because maybe she just doesn't know what you need.
I agree with Phoenix. Talk to her and find out what's up.
Punch her in the face if she acts up again. That'll teach her.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Thumbs down).
maybe, like others have said, she finds it hard to apologise. or maybe she is comfy enough with your relationship that she doesnt feel the need to make up!
Why dont you ask her?? not during, or after a row, but at a time when you're both happy, just ask her. Dont make it sound like you need an apology, just a reason as to why she doesnt like making up etc! Make up sex is very good, lol!!!
It's her passive aggressive way of winning every fight... in her mind anyway. As long as you're still getting laid let her have her little victory. In my relationships, I always let people win the small battles so they don't resent it when I make damn sure I win the big ones.
Of course me and squinney rarely argue anymore, but we did in the beginning.
"as long as you're still getting laid let her have her little victory"
that made me laugh!!!
