Proverbs is an Old Testament book mainly about proverbs by various Israelite sages.

The Book of Proverbs is one of the books classified as the poetry of Scripture. Proverbs is the book of wisdom that is accepted to be written by King Solomon as mentioned in 1 Kings 4:29-32. The proverbs transcend time. Whether one lives in Old Testament times, old Jerusalem, or today, its truths are still true.

What does he who finds a wife finds in the Bible mean?

You are speaking about Proverbs 18:22, see below. The term 'favor' is perhaps teaching here that marital problems happen usually from breakdowns in communications or the mutual respect that is to be given. It is not from some flaw in marriage itself which God gave to mankind.The writer of Proverbs has two other Scriptures on a wife with a 'acrostic poem' in the Hebrew language in Proverbs 31:10-31 ('The Virtuous Wife') that is suggested reading. The other is Proverbs 12:4 speaking of the 'excellent' wife being the 'crown of her husband.'Proverbs 18:22New International Version (NIV)22 He who finds a wife finds what is goodand receives favor from the Lord.

Where can I find an argument about 'spare the rod and spoil the child'?

There are several scriptures about the importance of discipline and use of the 'rod' for children (as well as adults), but scripturally, the terms 'discipline' and 'the rod' most often mean 'correction' (training/instruction), not beating or corporal punishment.A good scripture to apply is found at Proverbs 13:24: "He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently."(NASB) But also, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord".(Ephesians 6:4NIV) Why? because " "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."(Proverbs 22:15 KJV) and "A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother." (Proverbs 29:15 NIV)If we do this, we are copying God's example, since the one GOD loves, he disciplines (Hebrews 12:6)(Proverbs 3:11-12). So, Respecting discipline can mean a person's life. (Proverbs 1:8-9)(Proverbs 4:1)(Proverbs 4:13) (Proverbs 6:23) (Proverbs 8:32-36)(Proverbs 10:17)(Proverbs 12:1)(Proverbs 13:1)(Proverbs 13:18)(Deuteronomy 6:7)(Proverbs 19:18)
