Solomon wrote that it is better to live in the corner of a housetop than with a brawling partner in big palace. The reason for this is simple. Nothing is so satisfying as a harmonious relationship. A beautiful house is no compensation for a broken and betrayed heart. For the most beautiful relationship God designed is between a married man and woman. To protect this from being harmed, God legislated the seventh. Many forces seek to destroy the gift of marriage, either by wounding person before they are married, or by breaking into the relationship once married. That’s why the seventh commandment needs our attention.
