David Brooks of the New York Times asks the question whether being an Academy Award winner, like Sandra Bullock, is an equal tradeoff to finding out your husband is a West Coast Chopper cheater. He makes the case that if you have a successful marriage, it doesn’t matter how many career setbacks you have, you will still be reasonably happy. But if your marriage is like a house of cards, no matter how many Oscars you take home, you will remain unfulfilled. Marital happiness is good for your health (although it has been reported that Oscar winners live nearly four years longer than nominees). According to one study, being happily married produces a psychic gain equivalent to more than $100,000 a year.
