Musar for Ketubot 222:7

אלא כל המשיא בתו לתלמיד חכם והעושה פרקמטיא לתלמידי חכמים והמהנה תלמידי חכמים מנכסיו מעלה עליו הכתוב כאילו מדבק בשכינה

Rather, anyone who marries his daughter to a Torah scholar, or carries on a trade on behalf of Torah scholars, or benefits Torah scholars from his estate is regarded by Scripture as if he had clung to the divine presence.

Shemirat HaLashon

And also in the category of supporting Torah scholars is wedding one's daughter to a Torah scholar. As Chazal have said (Kethuvoth 111b), that [if one weds his daughter to a Torah scholar], it is as if he were to cleave to the Shechinah. And, as written in Pesachim 49a: "One should [if necessary] sell everything he has and wed the daughter of a Torah scholar and wed his daughter to a Torah scholar, so that if he dies or is exiled, [at least] his sons will be Torah scholars."
