   Proverbs 21:9? This is about the discord and arguments in the “self driven” home and how they ruin the family and distract us from our Lord, His goodness and love that we are to emulate. This is not necessarily what to do, rather how one feels. That a bad wife who nags, quarrels and or does not respect her husband will break the spirit and hope of the man who will then want to leave. But, a godly man will do instead of leaving ones family as provider, will do the honorable thing, and to ease tensions, move to a part of the house, the roof. This was not good either, many Middle Eastern homes had a porch and attic dwelling or perch on it, which would not be so pleasant either to live at, but better than in the home of strife. This is a contrast to having a good wife who loves, respects and nurtures. This in context is also about the virtues and rewards of the wise verses the wicked. If the husband was at fault or wicked and caused the wife to misbehave because he did not love and care for her, he can reflect on his wrongs and see what he did and repent on the roof. 1 Kings 17:19; Prov. 19:13-14; 21:19; 25:24; chap. 31
