Are some people meant to be together or do you think most people could make happy relationships with most people?
This is an interesting question. If two people are meant to be together I truly don't know. But I do believe that two people can work well together. That they can fit and meet like a puzzle, for example have the same culture or understand and respect each others different culture and/or religion/beliefs. They have similar goals in life, similar wishes and dreams, or different dreams and wishes that can coexist with each other. Two people that can communicate and practice understanding, love and respect for each others differences and similarities alike. I think that such relationships have a great succeed rate, have a great time and life together, because it's all built on a foundation of trust, love and respect. And I guess it can truly feel like they are meant for each other.
Can people be in a happy relationship with most people? How? If a relationship lacks the basic things of what I mentioned above, then what does the relationship have? Physical attraction? Fun? Replacement? A loneliness to kill? If you are in a happy relationship I would claim that you are the couple I mentioned above, and if you were to meet a person that can't and don't want to understand you, your dreams, your beliefs, your nature, your personality, and you meet a person that are so different from you and lacks the willingness to respect you for who you are, then will it be a happy relationship? Or a person that wants to change you and all that you are so that you will be to their liking, someone that completely disregards your feelings and wellbeing. Physical attraction or fun will not survive that negligence. We humans have needs and wishes we often want fulfilled.
So in one way you have to meet the right person to be in a happy fulfilling relationship. Are you meant for each other? Maybe, but it can also just be that you work well together and build your relationship on a healthy foundation of love, trust, respect, understanding and patience.
But let's say that all relationships actually were built on this foundation. I would like to think that many could be happy with most people, it makes sense. But the reality is that very many relationships end and marriages file for divorce and one could ask ourselves why that is? If we could be happy with most people, why are these relationships not working out? That's something to contemplate.
