Proverbs 25:24
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
These are the proverbs women know well. They are often quoted by our husbands. How do they learn these scriptures so fast? Maybe they have experienced it to be true. A brawling woman is difficult to live with. We are told here that it is better to be on the roof of a house isolated and alone than to be in a beautiful mansion with a bitter and angry woman. We know how this is. When we are contentious we don’t even like to dwell with ourselves. This shows us that getting a big house doesn’t make a happy family. If we get into a mortgage we cannot afford we can end up on edge and be this brawling woman in a wide house. To give our family a beautiful home our disposition and kindness furnishes them with great leeway to enjoy and dwell in peace and safety. Rather than redecorating our rooms, let us redecorate our disposition.
