Two long time couples are now both married. It’s the second for both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and the first for both Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka. The first couple has six children, the second two children.

In your humble opinion, which marriage has the best odds for lasting longer?

Both. Neither couple has been in the limelight for the wrong reasons, so we have no reason to think that either will end in the near term. And as far as public personas go, all four are reasonably intelligent put-together folk. They’re all in it for the long haul until different evidence emerges.
