A top economist has calculated a formula to determine what happiness in a marriage is worth when converted into money.
Paul Frijters reckons it equates to £18,000 to a man, while for woman it is just £9000.
The figures are a lump sum people would need to receive out of the blue to make them as happy as their marriage would over a lifetime.
Divorce makes a man feel like he had lost £61,500.
But a divorced woman feels as though she had only lost £5000.
