I think of soulmates as a particular relationship/chemistry model. There are all kinds of relationships and each of these is satisfying to its proponents.
"Soulmate chemistry" seems to describe those couples who stumble into each other while being fortunate enough to have enough common language and rapport that breaking the ice is very easy, there is an instant feeling of things "gelling", and you have a lot of stuff in common with them.
It doesn't mean anything you don't want it to mean. Because you can get f***ed and left by your soulmate. One person's soulmate is another person's "gee, she's just this nice girl". Especially if the other person is someone who is very gregarious and has no trouble meeting any number of people who feel like their "soulmates".
