@encrypted12345 Ah, so that's why she is obsessed with Marvel movies...

That's the point of the story. The story revolve around the couple and how they truly become a proper married couple.
This slow phase was to be expected since it's a slice of life genre, romcom are second.
There's no goal in this strory, but we could easily assume how the story ends. My guess is they fully done all the things that married couples do, ex; had a child.
This is why we interested reading this manga, we want to know how the couple progress with their married life.

If I may said it honestly, the art style and plot actually pretty mediocre, but somehow people are interested reading it.

So far, I'm more interested about the background story of the wife, she seems to be hiding something. I don't know what it's but if I may guess that she is ill, and won't live long. This is why she came out of nowhere and rush the marriage.
But hey it just my personal guess.

She actually literally just said she 'recovers from illness and injury right away' this same chapter. She can't have a life-threatening illness. It has nothing to do with that.

The rushed marriage may have just been for the sake of other things pertaining to legalities of her being involved with someone that could grow older than her physical body. She literally cannot age thanks to an incident in her youth, clearly while she was 16, that caused her aging to cease, alongside the aforementioned ability to quickly recover from illness and injury which prevents her from being able to die. She is, by all intents and purposes, immortal and eternal at the age of 16. (my current running theory is that she ended up receiving the immortality elixir from the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter that got referenced right at the start of this story instead of it being destroyed atop Mt. Fuji).

The timer is how much time that Nasa can have with her with his limited life span as a non-immortal human. Yes, a normal human lifespan is long to us, but to someone that has lived over a thousand years, even a single moment with someone they have fallen in love with is precious. She wanted to take hold of that the moment he was legally allowed to marry at 18, so that's why they married on his birthday (May 5th), in the wee hours of the morning.

Im pretty sure not even a month has passed in manga time

I actually did some analysis a few chapters ago when Aya asked for studying help, and I want to say it's at least a little over a month in manga time, actually. That chapter gave us some pretty concrete information on when it was, since there was both a calendar visible, and the mention that it was three weeks away from her final exams for the school term. The calendar said it was in June, and, according to some quick research, final exams for the first term in Japan generally take place around the middle of July, at the latest. This means we're probably around middle to late June as it is. And, like I said in the previous section of this comment, Tsukasa and Nasa married on his birthday of May 5th.

Edit: Okay, nevermind, in a few chapters we'll have clarification that Aya's finals for spring term are at the end of June, so it's still early June here. So about a month has passed since they've been married. I kinda figured they were end of June at first, but research told me Japan tends to have spring term finals in mid-July, so it was an honest mistake.

"But I have this thing where my body recovers from illness and injuries right away..."

ADD THAT TO THE TSUKASA = KAGUYA HIME THEORY

Actually, current evidence as of this chapter doesn't line up with that for me at all. She is long-lived, but if she was Kaguya-hime, she would have spent most or nearly all of the intervening thousand years on the moon, not wandering the Earth sight-seeing.

The most logical answer has been that she actually received the immortality elixir that was given by Kaguya-hime to the Emperor and was meant to be destroyed on Mt. Fuji. This is the simplest, and best answer for why she has lived so long on Earth. She is not a moon princess or anything, she's just a normal human that became immortal. She's reiterated the fact that she's a normal human straight to Chitose's face, someone who would know the truth.

She has all but admitted to Nara being her home prefecture in the volume-end Q&As (which are loaded with clues on her longevity and globe-trotting), and during the trip to Nara, it felt like she was reminiscing about somewhere she grew up at times. It wouldn't be a stretch to say she was born there when the royal palace and capital were there, some 1300 or 1400 years ago.

For reference, one of the best Q&A responses was when she said her hometown was the capital of antiquity, and Nara was clearly stated as one of the earliest sites of the Imperial capital and palace in ancient times during that Nara trip. There's also the possibility she was referring to Asuka, another ancient site of the Japanese capital, which is also located in Nara prefecture today, but narrative convenience would insist it must be Nara city, and the Heijou-kyou mentioned in Chapter 30.
