Could gravity have something to do with this? In that both galaxies are pulling toward each other and are doomed to merge?
I'm curious about the orbital parameters of the companion galaxies. Maybe we're just looking at them during a period of conjunction? Like if you look at our Solar System, sometimes all of the planets are on the same side of the sun.
