What do you think the cost is for a happy marriage?

I have no idea what the cost is for a happy marriage but a lot of people know what the cost is for an unhappy marriage is, sadly. Well, it costs about $381,000 to have a happy marriage. But, don't worry, that's not an upfront cost.

A new study found it costs approximately $381,000 to have a happy marriage. I wonder how much it costs to happily die alone? Anyway, here's the breakdown . . .

1. $30,000 for a wedding and honeymoon.

2. $2,000 a year for date nights. That's three dates a month at around $55 each.

3. $800 a year for nights in. That's three nights a month and includes the cost of a Netflix subscription, iTunes movie downloads, drinks, and snacks.

4. $435 a year for gifts and surprises.

5. $680 a year for jewelry.

6. $277 a year for lingerie. Remember, these are the costs for a HAPPY marriage, and that's going to include lingerie once in a while.

7. $232 a year on clothes and shoes for special occasions.

8. $922 a year on weekends away.

9. $2,400 a year on vacations.

That's $7,746 total every year. Over 45 years, plus the wedding, it adds up to about $381,000. (Mindful Money)

Do you think this is somewhat accurate? I do think the amount a year on jewelry is a tad low, but other than that it sounds about right.
