A foolish son is trouble for his father, and a quarrelsome wife is constant dripping.
Proverbs 19:13 TLV
This isn't addressed to the son or the wife, but to the father and husband. It is vital to your future happiness that you bring up children you can like and be proud of.
That's not an option for a wife. There's very little you can do to change the character of an adult and it's usually wiser and better for your relationship not to try. You're better off choosing a good wife to begin with. Get to know her mother and her family because that will tell you a lot about who she will become.
Ishmael was a predator. In itself, that's not all bad; God needs predators too, but only in limited roles. Most of God's people are sheep and that's a good thing. Some others will be shepherds or sheepdogs. Most predators are not citizens of the Kingdom, but I don't think we should assume that they can't be.
#genesis 21:20

I spoke to a group last night that's very mature in the faith. You better know what you're talking about with this crowd. I present and use the NASB95 and, in the subsequent discussion, they all used the KJV and then spent quite a bit of time showing how the KJV is wrong with each verse, to the point of showing Greek verb tenses. I just grinned and read the verses out of the NASB95 showing how it said what they had figured out, LOL.
How do we define right and wrong if there is no absolute truth? We complain about moral relativism, but only until we realize that the existence of absolute truth means there is a standard by which we all can be judged as right or wrong, good or evil, righteous or wicked. Do we really want such a definition, or do we want it only when we can use it to justify ourselves as we point out the wrongness of others?
