The Unknown
Shaun goes to Park for advice about Lea's failed marriage since Park had recently got divorced
Shaun and Park were busy doing research.
"Why do people get married if they know it might not work out?" Shaun asks breaking the silence.
"That's the thing about relationships, you never know if it will work out or not, because their is no definite answer to it. You go into a marriage because you have faith that it will work out because you love each other." Park responds.
"So why, do you take the risk, knowing things could go wrong?"
"Shaun, I firmly believe that everyon has that one person that they are meant to spend their life with, it's called a soulmate. But until you find that person, you have to experience life, love with the wrong people, and loss. Those experiences change you into the person that you are meant to be, the person who is meant for someone else who has gone through their own experiences."
"How do you know if someone is your soulmate?"
"That person enters your life, and everything changes. You're outlook on life changes. You teach each other how to be a better person and if that person is your soulmate, you both try everyday to bring job, love and you grow together. Couples can drift apart even if they are married because they stopped trying to make each other happy and loved.
"I think I understand. Like how I have never felt comfortable having physical contact with anyone, like I do with Lea, with her I feel comfort and I like I feel complete and belong."
"Exactly Shaun, for you, the way Lea calms you and brings you comfort and joy is your soul's way of telling you that she is your soulmate. Now I also need you to understand that part of that is all soulmates go through trials that test their bond and commitment to each other. It's how you overcome them together that makes the bond even more secure. You can know a person for years and still learn something new about them everyday."
"Ok" Shaun nods his head. "Now what about shower sex?"
Park chuckles, "You'll never know if you'll like it if you don't try. Sometimes what a person needs is to go outside of their comfort zone."
"But we treat patients that had gotten hurt during shower sex alot, so how can it be a good thing?"
"Yes we do, but a majority of those patients get hurt because they are enjoying the moment so much that nothing else matters than than that intimate connection with your partner.
