Usually Incarnations will be so as to allow each aspect to grow and learn separately; however with the Harvest approaching many will have written into their life "blueprints" a reunion with their Twin Flame.
This, I believe is what you are referring to as "Soulmate" or one true love.
Love & Light
I'm with Ashim on this, but it's not based on the Law of One. I don't think the Law of One addresses the issue, that I recall. But that doesn't mean it ain't so.
I do remember Q'uo stating that anyone could make whatever relationship they were currently in work. (Not probable, but ever possible!) So perhaps the potential is always there. But, for that matter, we could show perfect love to everyone 100% of the time! How can we hope to coexist harmoniously in a SMC if we can't even do it with one person?
In her excellent book, Love Signs, Linda Goodman provides the best explanation of twin flames I've ever seen. It resonated deeply with me. Not everyone is currently with their twin flame, but that doesn't mean their twin flame isn't out there someplace.
Maybe it's wistful thinking, or maybe it's easy for me to believe this since I am with the love of my life and we bring out the strength and the best in each other (ie. complementary in terms of spiritual growth), or maybe I just find the idea romantic, but I personally do accept it as probable truth. I think it meshes with the whole idea of polarity in this dimension. Think about it: We have 2 genders, we have 2 polarities...it makes sense that our souls would have split, maybe just temporarily while we're in 3D, to fully experience polarity...not in the sense of STS/STO but in the sense of male/female, yin/yang (which doesn't necessarily always translate to gender but could be relative).
If true, the whole idea of twin flames has less to do with compatibility (ie., getting along, both like to go skiing, both like rock music, etc.) and more to do with offering the perfect complement to the other's spiritual growth.
A large % of marriages are karmic, rather than twin flame unions.
A few books I recommend on the subject:
Love Signs by Linda Goodman
The Shared Heart by Barry & Joyce Vissell
The Esoteric Philosophy of Love and Marriage by Dion Fortune
Conscious Conception: A Journey into the Labyrinth of Sexuality by Jeannine Parvati Baker
And the most amazing movie: What Dreams May Come illustrates the concept profoundly.
