That's expensive. If you want a happy marriage you'll be spending some serious cash. Mindful Money did some number crunching and found that all the costs of being in a happy marriage (happy wife, happy life ) comes out to about $7,800.00 a year. Then the average 45-year marriage and cost of the actual wedding included -- smells like a happy marriage filled with insurmountable debt!

Some of the costs include the actual wedding (and honeymoon), date nights, gifts and surprises, plus a whopping $800 a year for nights in. It even costs big bucks to stay at home!

 

The exact total is $7,746 total per year for everything.

About $381,000.00 over the course of a 50-year marriage.
