First House in Astrology is you yourself and the seventh house is the person you are dealing with.  If you are a doctor, your patient is seventh house on your horoscope.  If you are a patient, your doctor is seventh house in your horoscope.  If you are building a house, the contractor or engineer is your seventh house. If you are owner, your customer is this house. If you are a competitor, your opponent is seventh house and so on.

Why did they combine both wife and death in the same seventh house?  Is it the reason that to live with wife is to die each moment?  1st house is you and 7th house quite opposite to you shows all your opponents. Your wife should have opposite sex, opposite nature and opposite energies to develop your inherent potentials and to fulfil the gap in you.  Every third house starting from you (1st house) shows your inward development : 1st house = You, 3rd House = your sexual and mental potentiality, 5th house= your love and child, the copy of yourself, 7th House= Your wife, realisation of your another half, the fulfilment long lasting appetite sex, 9th House= realisation of yourself, moktsha, 11th house = fulfilment of all desires in your life. Death is not the end of life but the renewal point for another birth to take all the new body to carry forward our karmas in the eternal stream of life. Death gives you another life.  Your child is your another life. Wife, the symbol of your death gives you your another life, your child. How mysterious, spiritual, divine and deep Astrology is!
