5 When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he hath taken.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 5. When any perception of good or truth becomes conjoined to its corresponding affection of doing good in any state of the soul, temptations cease, and there is no more labour; and the soul enjoys a period of heavenly peace in that state in which the newly-acquired love of good uses finds its ability to act from the perception of good to which it is joined.
