Soul connection and soulmate still exist in today's world. They meet too in this physical world, but due to ego, distractions, and unmatched situations, they can't recognise each other. Like you think in treta yuga, Sita has never seen Lord Ram before in her life, but after meeting him and seeing him, she recognised the soul connection and prayed to goddess bhagvati to marry only him. The second one is Rukmini, whose brother and father want her to marry their ally kingdom's prince, but she sets in her mind to only marry Lord krishna, and he comes to marry her. These are the stories that show the soul connection and soulmate are meant to each other from their previous lives. But, now, it is rare to find your true mate. This world becomes web for all of us where feelings and emotions are just sophisticated.
