Marnia Robinson with the Al Cole Panel

Marnia Robinson is a former corporate lawyer (with degrees from Brown and Yale). She never expected to find herself writing books about sex. She delved into the subject in part because she was a bride or bridesmaid in four weddings, and just about everyone who reached the altar (including Marnia) has since divorced and remarried. What was going on? Psychologists, neuroscientists, evolutionary biologists, anthropologists and ancient sages all have essential clues for coping with this challenge. Marnia’s goal is to highlight key insights (both recent and long-forgotten) and then weave them together with practical suggestions, in hopes of encouraging a wider dialogue. Her husband Gary Wilson, a neuroscience enthusiast, generously takes time from his teaching career to help her collect and analyze the material in her posts and books. Together they have given presentations and made radio appearances worldwide on the unwelcome effects of evolutionary biology on romantic relationships. Marnia and Gary host the web site Reuniting: Healing with Sexual Relationships, and reside in Ashland, Oregon. Marnia’s most recent book Cupid's Poisoned Arrow: From Habit to Harmony in Sexual Relationships has just come out in German, too. Cupid has been endorsed by two psychiatrists and a UCLA biologist. Some of her recent appearances include: · San Francisco's "The View from the Bay" show (ABC7/KGO-TV). · Portland’s AM Northwest show (TV) · “Jefferson Exchange” Radio Show (Southern Oregon) · “Pathways” Radio Show - KBOO (Portland) She blogs for “Psychology Today,” “Huffington Post,” “ScienceBlog” and “The Good Men Project.” Her article, “The Great Experiment” will appear in the next issue of the academic journal The Evolutionary Review. Her work was also featured in the award-winning anthology, Toward 2012: Perspectives on the Next Age.
