Not "fortunate", it called communicating with your potential mate during courtship and making sure you want the same thing before you get married. It's also called hard work! "fortunate" makes it sound as if it happened by chance or some dumb luck and if some else was just as "fortunate" it would have happened to them! It didn't happen to us, we made it happen!
