I'm fairly certain that the reason Aragorn went wandering instead of staying in Rivendell with his adopted elven-family was that he was trying to win over Elrond and had to prove that he was good enough for Arwen. Also, the timing did have a lot to do with it. Elrond probably had some kind of foresight that allowed him to make choices with results that would come into play at the right time and place.
