It looks like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have contradictory views on marriage. While the former couple was definitely head over heels, their opposite beliefs and values could have destroyed their relationship and led to their divorce.

It has been more than 10 years since Jen and Pitt parted ways. However, many of their fans still feel there is a second chance for them. The media portrayed them as the “golden couple” of Hollywood in the past. Many also blamed Angelina Jolie for triggering their split.

However, the Friends alum feels that the media portrayed the so-called “love triangle” between her, Pitt, and Angie to be more dramatic then it was. The actress feels that the truth behind their split was “things changed.”

Jen was in conversation with Vanity Fair when she revealed that she and the Troy actor stopped growing together. This led to a crack in their relationship, according to the actress.

Aniston feels that relationships are not simple. It can be any relationship ranging from parent-child relationships, business relationships, or relationships with friends. Jen feels both the spouses keep evolving in a marriage and there are times when the changes in them clash.

The actress feels that love alone cannot save a marriage. Two people should have the same set of values to live “happily ever after,” according to Jennifer Aniston. Else, there is a high possibility of things getting messy.

Jennifer Aniston feels that the real challenge in a marriage is an opportunity for a couple’s relationship to evolve and grow. It is also an opportunity to make the bond stronger and then improve it.

However, Brad Pitt thinks differently as he does not even think that there is such a thing called “happily ever after.” Jen feels the fantastic thing about marriage is going through the ups and the lows with the same individual.

A spouse should look at the other partner and proclaim their love for the latter. Jen accepted that Pitt does not see marriage in such a light and they have different views on it.

Pitt gave a different impression altogether about what he thinks about marriage. In a separate interview, he said that the notion of two becoming a single entity means losing one’s identity. Spouses should not cage one another with the pressure of living happily ever after.

The Fight Club actor feels that there should not be any strict rules in a marriage. Brad Pitt further said he was not certain about whether it is in a person’s nature to be with their partner always just because such a pact has been made, Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports.
