In general I believe in destiny and a higher order, but I do feel your choices can and will have an impact on that. The same carries on with relationships. You cant just always put blame on others, because your actions can prevent things from happening. Just my personal way of thinking.

She did move away, my dad made that choice for her by leaving us. I guess I take issue with what you said about outside influences not being able to affect a relationship if it is really strong. My mother thought she had a strong relationship for the most part. No marriage is perfect. Funny thing is my dad always detested men who cheated on their wives. However, he made some very bad choices in his life and allowed temptation to ruin his family. He eventually became the thing he hated most.
On a side note, men are bombarded by sexual images everyday and I believe it can have affect. I have witnessed more marriages being ruined by a man's addiction to pornography than I care to count.
