Devotion 1 of 1: Prov 21

In v.9, Solomon wrote: “It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.” V.19 is similar: “It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.” Another similar verse is 27:15, “A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike.” Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Ki 11:3), so he must have had a lot of experiences with jealous, quarrelsome wives! I think he must have spent a lot of time running around his palace, trying to escape from them! So the best thing to do is to find one person whom you can really love and spend your whole life together, learning to love each other more and more!
