This story definitely has a message about marriage and the myth of love at first sight. While the FL and ML were definitely attracted to each other at first sight, their marriage fell apart because neither communicated their needs. With the FL being reborn and understanding her husband better, they manage to reach a compromise where they keep their pride but their needs are met. And even if they're not classically "in love", they're partners for life and I think that's just as important.Spoiler
I think it also really makes sense for the FL to not be able to prevent her father's death. Unlike the man-made tragedies she fixed before, her father had been ruining his health even before she was born. It was only a matter of time before his body gave out, and no scheme can undo that.
It's also very good character building because we know the FL values her immediate family greatly, so even if she subconsciously knows this death is inevitable, she still has to stubbornly try.
