The Samajivina Sutta, as follows, can hopefully shed some light on this question.
Once the Blessed One was staying among the Bhaggas in the Deer Park at
Bhesakala Grove, near Crocodile Haunt. Then early in the morning the
Blessed One put on his robes and, carrying his bowl and outer robe,
went to the home of the householder, Nakula's father. On arrival, he
sat down on a seat made ready. Then Nakula's father & Nakula's mother
went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat
to one side. As they were sitting there, Nakula's father said to the
Blessed One: "Lord, ever since Nakula's mother as a young girl was
brought to me [to be my wife] when I was just a young boy, I am not
conscious of being unfaithful to her even in mind, much less in body.
We want to see one another not only in the present life but also in
the life to come."
And Nakula's mother said to the Blessed One: "Lord, ever since I as a
young girl was brought to Nakula's father [to be his wife] when he was
just a young boy, I am not conscious of being unfaithful to him even
in mind, much less in body. We want to see one another not only in the
present life but also in the life to come."
[The Blessed One said:] "If both husband & wife want to see one
another not only in the present life but also in the life to come,
they should be in tune [with each other] in conviction, in tune in
virtue, in tune in generosity, and in tune in discernment. Then they
will see one another not only in the present life but also in the life
to come."
Husband & wife, both of them having conviction, being responsive,
being restrained, living by the Dhamma, addressing each other with
loving words: they benefit in manifold ways. To them comes bliss.
Their enemies are dejected when both are in tune in virtue. Having
followed the Dhamma here in this world, both in tune in precepts &
practices, they delight in the world of the devas, enjoying the
pleasures they desire.
