Most Bible verses are for both men and women to live accordingly, and can this apply to a man as well? I know of a man in my life that is argumentative contentious and I find this passage applies to him.

Roofs in that time I will take to mean as FLAT. This is important for my point. From above the network of house you can see possibilities. You can see others who choose to be happy. You can safely laugh, watching those who mess up. Above all, the point is that you literally are above all, looking at the world and not just your own frying pan thatvyou live in. A man can STAY MARRIED as long as he wants and even choose to remain faithful though LAW may say otherwise, dictating time slots and such for children in legal divorce. I have sat and observed from high up enough to say I really wish the world would change.
