Proverbs 21:19

The Message

Better to live in a tent in the wild than with a cross and petulant spouse.

See the chapter Copy

A parent is worn to a frazzle by an irresponsible child; a nagging spouse is a leaky faucet.

Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet; You can’t turn it off, and you can’t get away from it.
