Martha's Aunt

When I looked at the small description of Martha’s aunt, I thought it was interesting the way Jewett describes Martha’s aunt’s marriage. Jewett states that the aunt “lately married a thriving farm and its prosperous owner” (875). She puts the emphasis on the “thriving farm,” not on the man that she marries. Historically, the emphasis should be on the man. I was wondering what everyone else thinks of this line.
