I agree with you and hope they do change it. With the flood of people that come in at launch, plus with people that try/have alts for many different reasons. There is a pretty high chance to have your soulmate locked to someone who plays then drops the game. While screwing you. Though I get if it changed every lifetime, wouldn't be soulmates at that rate. But I can't really see many people being lucky enough to find their soulmates. Knowing they could be a few kingdoms apart. Seemed even rarer than getting a talent.
