Musar for Ketubot 134:2

ת"ר יתום שבא לישא שוכרין לו בית ומציעין לו מטה וכל כלי תשמישו ואחר כך משיאין לו אשה שנאמר (דברים טו, ח) די מחסורו אשר יחסר לו די מחסורו זה הבית אשר יחסר זה מטה ושלחן לו זו אשה וכן הוא אומר (בראשית ב, יח) אעשה לו עזר כנגדו:

Our Rabbis taught: If an orphan came for assistance in marriage, they must rent a house for him, prepare a bed for him and [buy him] all his [household] objects, and then marry him off, for it is said in Scriptures, “Sufficient for his need in that which is lacking for him” (Deuteronomy 15:8): “sufficient for his need,” refers to the house; “in that which wants,” refers to a bed and a table; “He” refers to a wife, for so it is said in Scripture, “I will make a partner for him” (Genesis 2:18).
