The theme of building a new life together despite all odds is also common. They might face challenges from the wizarding society, or even from within their own relationship due to their different personalities and backgrounds. But they work through it in these fanfictions. There are also often themes related to magical elements, like using magic to keep their secret or having some unique magical bond as a result of their marriage.
One common theme is the secrecy itself. How they keep their relationship and marriage a secret from their friends and families, especially considering their past rivalries at Hogwarts. Another theme is the discovery and reaction of their friends, like Hermione and Ron finding out and their initial shock or acceptance.
A lot of these fanfictions explore the idea of redemption for Draco. Since he had a rather dark past in the original series, in the context of their secret marriage, his character often goes through a transformation. Also, the theme of love conquering differences is quite prevalent. Harry, being the hero of the wizarding world, and Draco, from a family with a different ideology, coming together in love is a central aspect.
