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.
