Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those with quarrelsome spouses. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people would give almost anything to have tranquility in their marriage. People suffering with constant conflict can find themselves the victims of abuse and worse.

Proverbs 21:9 (ESV) may sound humorous, but is rather profound.

“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”

Or, if the situation happened to be with a quarrelsome husband.

If you are in a challenging relationship, seek wise counsel. Find a professional to confide in. If possible, find reconciliation.

Change Quarrelsome Behavior!

Change Quarrelsome Behavior!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to change their quarrelsome behavior. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A drip, drip, drip can be nerve-racking.

Some people have traits that get on other’s nerves.

Combine these two elements, and Proverbs 27:15-16 (ESV) comes to mind.

“A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.”

Solomon does a good job with his comments about restraining the wind and grasping oil when he articulates how hard it is to control a quarrelsome individual – husband or wife.

If you have been the quarrelsome one in a relationship, it is time to trust the Lord and turn from this way of life.
