Belong with

Hi,
Does 'belonged with' mean 'beonged to' in the sentence below?

Is 'belong with' a correct phrase? I'v never heard of it before.

She wanted him to remember that he belonged with Mary.
Thanks.

The sentence is correct. The meaning isn't exactly the same as that of belong to , which often implies possession. He and Mary belonged together.

Suppose I know a single man and a single woman who both love opera, and the same kinds of food, and talking about the same things. I think they would make a perfect couple and a perfect match,
I say to myself, "They belong together."
