After Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce earlier this year, Brad Pitt reportedly had this to say about his relationship with her: "I know that if a marriage doesn't fit a certain idea, it's looked upon as a failure. But I see mine as a total success. My God, man. Jen is such an influence on my life. We made it for seven years [five of those as husband and wife]--that's five years more than I made it with anyone else."

As recently as a decade ago, the phrases "five-year marriage" and "total success" would have seemed like complete contradictions. But these days, it appears as though more and more real-world marital unions are only lasting for a handful of years.
