I think this case is about Arthur Morgan's relationship with Mary Linton.

When Arthur and Mary were young they were romantically involved but it ended because of Arthur's outlaw lifestyle getting in the way of their relationship:

During her youth, Mary was in a romantic relationship with Arthur Morgan and the two were deeply in love, but it ultimately fell through due to Arthur's life as an outlaw and affiliation with the Van der Linde gang

This is similar to the relationship between Maggie Hayes and John Henry Lee. When they were young Maggie had a crush on John Henry to the chagrin of Oren Hayes but in the end she married Oren. Oren believes the only reason she married him instead of John Henry was because of John Henry being sent to prison for 20 years. This is discussed at 00:20:18 in the movie. The movie itself doesn't seem to directly state why she chose one over the other but she is shown to still care about both of them. It could be said that John Henry's outlaw lifestyle getting him sent to prison was what kept him and Maggie apart.

Also in both situations the former couples are reunited many years after their initial romance ended, in RDR2 when Mary asks Arthur for help rescuing Jamie from the Chelonians and in the movie when Maggie arrives by stage coach at the end of the movie at 01:23:12.

Finally, both couples part ways again with the male receiving something to remember the woman by.

In a letter parting ways Mary leaves Arthur the engagement ring he had given her many years ago:

Arthur later receives a letter from Mary, enclosed with the engagement ring he gave her many years ago. In the letter she says her goodbyes to him and that it was time to let each other go. She acknowledges that Arthur is unlikely to ever leave his life behind and apologizes for how their relationship turned out. She hopes that the ring can be passed down to another couple in love in order to help them too.

In the movie Oren gives John Henry a photograph of Maggie to remember her by as he sends John Henry away to Canada at 01:26:04.

In summary Arthur and Mary's relationship plays out quite similarly to John Henry and Maggie's relationship:

• They were both young couples in love

• They were both separated by the man's outlaw lifestyle
• They were both reunited many years later after their romances ended
• They both part ways with a gift of remembrance

As such I think the Preacher was hinting at the relationship between Arthur Morgan and Mary Linton with this movie.
