What is the role of fate in romantic relationships?

Hello everybody! How are you guys doing? Today's topic will be about the the role of fate in romantic relationships.

To start off let us define the word, Fate. What is fate? According to many fate would be considered as an invisible or a non-existant force that would cause something to undoubtedly happen to someone, it may be good or bad, but that depends on your view of it.
Anyways, the role of fate in romantic relationships are, in my opinion, over-used within our society and media. In almost everyone romantic film nowadays, you always would hear a cliched line such as "We were fated to be together" or something similar to "we are bound together by the red string of fate" or any other cliched line you can think of.

Serendipity is a good movie that is based around the stereotype (I honestly cannot find a better fitting word to use other than this) that true lovers are fated to be together. To summarize, without giving away too much of the movie, the two main characters, Jonathan Trager (John Cusack) and Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale), believe that "...fate is behind everything..." and everything that happens between the main characters has fate as the culprit. It is quite funny to watch and the things that happen are just really funny like how they just missed each other on the elevators. Oops, I'm giving away too much spoilers, all in all, this is a great movie and in not wanting to promote this great movie or to sound too biased, it is worth your 5 minutes to check out the movie. Although I find some parts of the movie, slightly strange and of course, it is not for everyone.

Well, this is all for today and have a great day! Goodbye everyone!
