Do you think fate pushed you together?
I don’t see marriage that way. I see it as two people wanting to marry because they love each other and want that level of a commitment. I see it as two people being able to support themselves otherwise and not one person needing to financially support another.

No, it wasn’t fate. It was a twisted set of circumstances. The perfect storm.
