A stable marriage has the same emotional value to a husband or wife as a salary of ?65,000 a year, it was claimed yesterday. 据说，一段稳定、幸福、美满的婚姻给丈夫或妻子带来的精神上的满足感相当于一份年薪65000英镑（约合69万人民币）工作的所带来的快乐。

Couples in long-term marriages are ‘significantly more content’ than those who are unmarried, journalist and author David Brooks told BBC Radio Four’s Today programme.

记者兼作家David Brooks在接受英国BBC电台节目采访时如是说，比起那些形单影只的孤家寡人来说，那些沉静稳定婚姻中的夫妇能够获得“更加深刻的满足”。

‘Marriage is tremendously important,’ he said. ‘We have a tendency to think of ourselves as rational individuals who are driven by economic motives, but in fact we are social individuals, driven by the need for relationships.’

“美满的婚姻是相当重要的，”他说。“虽然我们倾向于认为自己是理性的个体，并且是受经济因素所驱使，不过事实上，我们都是具有社会性的人，驱使我们的对与感情关系的需要。”

He has calculated the ‘psychic benefit’ of a long marriage at ?65,000 a year.

David Brooks计算，幸福而持久的婚姻的“精神福利”价值相当于每年65000英镑。

His estimate of the financial value of marriage is even higher than that of social researchers who look at the cash differences between married and unmarried people.
