It's a little hard to get from the reminder text, which is just an abbreviation of the full rules for Soulbond, but you can only pair if the both the Soulbond creature and the other creature are already unpaired. If your Lightning MaulerMTG Card: Lightning Mauler is already paired with Stromkirk NobleMTG Card: Stromkirk Noble, then you can't pair it with anything else that comes in. You have to wait until it becomes unpaired for some reason.

I agree with Rhadamanthus, it's pretty vague and unclear from the reminder text. I was under the same misconception as well concerning Lightning MaulerMTG Card: Lightning Mauler. However, he is right, Both the soulbound creature AND the creature entering the battlefield must be unpaired.

"You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield."

The key word, being "another", means that both need to be unpaired.
