Is exactly that, for a soul mate bond to form it takes many lifetimes together, also some ancient pagan cultures like in Egypt it was customary when a couple loved each other to promise to be together beyond a present lifetime and make a binding ritual.
And also having been together for so long that person will share a great deal of karma with you.
I was thinking about this actually. If in past lifetimes I married and had children, only for me in another body to either marry a different person or be single, I sometimes wonder if they are okay, even if they don't even remember me, or me not knowing who they are now, where they are, or if they even exist. It's kinda depressing to think about. If I had children in my past life, but I'm a single person in this one, and they are living their own lives, I wonder if they're okay. It's a weird thing to think about all of my different lifetimes, and where and who they are in the present time, if I had even met them at all.
