Summary: Marry for the right reasons. Being horny and money are bad reasons.

Commentary: 

79: Only marry for love, but make sure you love good things.

80: Otherwise, you'll go cheat on your spouse.

81: Enjoy your affections.

85/86: Men are more careful with the breeding of their animals than children.

87: Worship God, not money.
