Meaning
This has the shape of a domestic ideal, where marriage works best when each person makes the other glad to return home. It can be read as a call for mutual care and emotional hospitality, though it also carries the older gender assumptions of its time. It lands in a discussion about home as a place of comfort, not obligation.
