Others -- myself included -- think of fate as simply a way to conceptualise a "fast forward" button in a long series of causally related events in a finite deterministic system, a later point in a spatiotemporal continuum. But that's just a mechanical view, and it doesn't accommodate the notion that any outcome was "meant" or "intended" somehow. Whom/what would it be intended by? To be "meant" to do something (or be with someone) you have to have something or somebody to do the meaning. It is obvious that a religious perspective would permit that, precisely in the way that a materialistic, scientific outlook would not.
On a more practical level, I think this notion of our intrinsic compatibility with someone else is highly overrated. True, it is possible to have absolutely irreconcilable differences of character, but most people who have those don't seem to end up in any relationships to begin with, successful or not. Most attributes of a relationship are what you make of them, as I myself have learned and take care to keep in mind. If you see your partner as someone with whom you conceptualise spending the rest of your life (and depending on your beliefs, eternity? -- not sure) with, you have a much greater chance of doing that than if you exclude that possibility with an a priori attitude.
