9 Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
9 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.
9 Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
9 It's better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

(Read Proverbs 21:9)
It is best to shun bitter contention by pouring out the heart before God. For by prudence and patience, with constant prayer, the cross may be removed.
