Let’s just be honest. After Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie, the couple’s relationship wasn’t exactly widely approved of. More than a few people thought it would be over within months. Years later however, Pitt and Jolie seem stronger than ever. He popped the question this past week, and his future bride gleefully said yes, much to the delight of their children who reportedly wanted to see mom and dad officially wed.

Over the years, much has been made about the trouble many Hollywood couples have staying together. Whether weeks after the union, months or even years, many seemingly strong and famous unions bust apart before they achieve long-term stability. Thus, it’s only natural to wonder what Pitt and Jolie’s odds might be at staying together.

Luckily for the two, there are many factors in their favor. A good percentage of marriages dissolve over monetary arguments. Since both have more money than they could ever spend, that’s not an issue. In addition, they were together for years before deciding to take the plunge, and both are of above-average intelligence. All of those factors seem to correlate positively with marital success. Unfortunately, they also both are apt to work weird hours and travel extensively.

Weighing everything together, I’m pretty confident this union will survive. That being said, I would have bet a pretty penny Brad and Jen would have blissfully lasted for decades too.
