Biography: Marnia Robinson

I am a former corporate attorney who never expected to find herself writing books about sex. I delved into the subject in part because I was a bride or bridesmaid in four weddings, and all of us have divorced or remarried. What was going on?  The more I learned about mating and bonding, the more I recognized the need for a cross-disciplinary perspective that also incorporates the experiences of actual lovers struggling to combine fiery biological urges with the desire for long-term harmonious relationships. Psychologists, neuroscientists, evolutionary biologists, anthropologists and even ancient sages all have vital clues for coping with this challenge—and yet each profession alone is somewhat hampered by its official belief system. My goal is to highlight key insights (both recent and long-forgotten) by weaving them together with lots of humor and practical suggestions.  My husband Gary Wilson, a human-sciences teacher, helps me collect and analyze the material in my books. Together we have given presentations and made radio appearances worldwide on the unwelcome effects of evolutionary biology on romantic relationships. We also contribute items to various magazines and books. Most recently my work was featured in the award-winning anthology, “Toward 2012: Perspectives on the Next Age.” I am the author of Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow, which will soon be available in German, too.
