According to psychologists, being told "I love you" for the first time by someone with whom you have passionate love (not just lust, but mutual obsession too, what new couples have, #2 in Figure 1) for causes a happiness boost equivalent to receiving $250,000.
Figure 1
Consummate love (#7) causes a happiness boost equivalant to $30K to $40K a year and raises life expectancy by 15%.
Money does correlte to life span, but has a diminishing effect on happiness after a certain point (about $75,000 a year in US). This means that once you meet your basics, you should just donate and invest in passive income (stocks, real-estate, comodity, business, etc.).
Marriage tax and health care cuts bring about the happiness equivalent of $100K a year (tax & health care cuts) in the US.
