What does the Bible say about contentious relationships?

Answered in 1 source

Proverbs teaches that it is better to live in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman.

Proverbs 21:9 advises that living in a corner of a housetop is preferable to dwelling with a contentious person. This reflects the discomfort and turmoil that arises from constant fighting and nagging within relationships. God’s Word uses these descriptions not only to address human relationships but metaphorically to symbolize false religion, which causes spiritual turmoil and strife, much like a contentious individual.
