The title of the book, "How to be Happy though Married," is elegantly written in flowing script at the top, while the subtitle, "Being a Handbook to Marriage," is inscribed below. The publication of "How to be Happy though Married" in the 1880s reflects the societal emphasis on marriage and matrimony during the Victorian era. Marriage was viewed as a sacred institution, and the role of married life in providing happiness and fulfillment was a popular topic of discussion.

The book's cover design, with its soft colors and romantic imagery, conveys the idea that a happy marriage is a beautiful and fulfilling experience. The use of the word "handbook" suggests that the book is a practical guide, offering readers valuable advice and insights into the intricacies of married life.
