Our gas hot water heater pilot will not stay lit? Any ideas why?

Could be a defective thermocouple OR if it is the new style WH there could be a problem with the flame safeguard device.

Thanks that is what I thought it may be. My husband just changed the thermocouple about a year and a half ago though. Could it go bad that fast?

It is possible.
