Shiva and Parvati in this case are (among many other things) stand-ins for Purusha and Prakriti, i.e., Spirit (or Consciousness) and Matter... so another piece of it as that Matter can't create life by herself, it just acts weird, and it needs Consciousness.
Shiva was not off at war in any of the versions of the story I know. Shiva is more the kind to sit on top of a mountain blissfully staring into space for 1,000,000,000 years.
