But that's a code change, that's like saying "we changed the products from being in the back to being on the shelves".
Do you also change your process? Do you divide the work differently? Did you hire a new person to take care of those tasks that are never prioritized and then suddenly become emergency fixes?

Society changed a lot since Biblical times. They didn't "live together" in the same house, but these people certainly "lived together" in the same street or village before getting married. People didn't really have a lot of "home life" like we do now, they'd be out in the fields, or cooking in front of their home. So they'd see each other's home life and it's more "getting a house for themselves" than a big change in privacy or contact hours.
