Meeting, greeting not just for fun!

“If there is no fate, there will be no meeting.” — I am unsure of the concept of fate. It is a bit complicated for me to understand, or more accurately, I have some negative connotations about it, and I haven’t understood it well. But I enunciate from this saying that every meeting has a bigger purpose.
The relationship between husband and wife is in this category. If it weren’t for some unresolved ties, how could we get together in this life? Let me explain this case.

What am I resolving? My impatience, for sure, I can guarantee. He and our son are very patient, and I belong to the extreme other end of that spectrum. So, might we put together for me to test their patience and for them to raise their bar? Couldn’t it be a chance?
In the process, I might become more patient, and they less. So there is a balance, for sure.

Another aspect is playfulness; I am more straight-jacketed if the word is serious, involved, or structured. On the contrary, my partner is like a gel going with the flow; this is fine, and that is fine for him, too. I was baffled by this attitude in my early years. After almost two and half decades, I am a little more flowy( if that is the word to say, I can process changes if informed by an email before the flowy thing happens and reminded about it multiple times, in innovative ways), and some structures I imposed on him too. So here too, you see we met for this!

So we all meet for a purpose!
