The official English publisher is Yen Press, so any retailer that sources from them is a safe bet. I prefer BookWalker because they specialize in manga and light novels, and they often have exclusive digital bonuses like extra illustrations or short stories.
Their app works well enough, though some folks find the DRM restrictive. For a series like 'My Happy Marriage,' which leans heavily on its emotional atmosphere and beautiful art, getting a high-quality digital copy with all the bonus content really enhances the experience. Just avoid sketchy aggregate sites; the official channels ensure the creators actually get paid.

It is available. A word of caution about samples, though: the sample for Volume 1 ends on a bit of a cruel cliffhanger, right when Miyo's situation feels most hopeless. I downloaded the sample, read it in one sitting, and immediately had to buy the full book because I was so distressed for her!
It's an effective marketing tactic, I'll give them that. The sample perfectly hooks you into the emotional core of the story.

Is the writing style consistent? I sometimes find that light novels can shift tone drastically after a few volumes, especially when new writers or editors get involved.

A friend asked me this, and my answer was: 'Think of it like a TV season. Volume 1 is episodes 1-4, Volume 2 is episodes 5-8, etc.' You wouldn't watch a TV show out of order. The light novels are seasons of Miyo and Kiyoka's story.
Each volume has its own mini-arc and resolution, but they build on each other to form a larger story. Watching/reading out of order would create disjointed character development and make the overarching plot confusing. The 'monster of the week' format in some series might allow for flexibility, but this is a continuous serialized drama.
So, watch Season 1 (Volume 1), then Season 2 (Volume 2), and so on. It's the most natural way to consume any long-form narrative. The light novel format is perfect for this kind of storytelling, and the order is built right into the seasonal model.

I see zero reason to deviate from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... The story is a continuous arc of Miyo's emotional journey. Skipping around would be like reading random chapters of a biography. You'd miss the transformation that makes the ending (when we get it) meaningful.

The ebooks are usually priced around $8-$10 USD per volume, which feels fair for the length and the quality of the physical object you're not getting. I budget for one or two light novels a month as a treat. 'My Happy Marriage' was my pick last month, and I don't regret it. I read it on my phone's Kindle app during my lunch breaks. The convenience of having it with me all the time made it easy to finish quickly.

The English light novel translation covers the first six volumes. The pacing of the releases has been great—just fast enough to keep momentum, but slow enough that you can savor each book. I've re-read certain scenes, especially the quieter, more intimate conversations between Miyo and Kiyoka, and the translation holds up to that scrutiny. Every word feels chosen with care.
It's a romance that thrives on subtext, and the translation preserves every bit of that.

Consider the chapter numbering. While each volume resets to Chapter 1, the story doesn't. The end of Volume 1's final chapter flows directly into the beginning of Volume 2's first chapter, with no time skip. It's one continuous narrative thread.
That's your strongest textual evidence. The author did not write an epilogue or prologue to create separation; she wrote a single story that was split at a certain page count. Volume 2 is literally the next chapter of that story.

Some of the funniest moments come from Kiyoka's deadpan internal commentary in the novel, which the manga can only approximate with his expression. His utter confusion at Miyo's extreme politeness, his mental calculations on how to be kind without scaring her—it's hilarious and endearing. You get less of that specific flavor of humor in the manga, which leans more on visual gags and the side characters for comic relief.
