Summary: Most of us long for intimate relationships, and though texting and emailing may keep us superficially connected, it ultimately cannot create the kind of intimacy necessary to sustain a deep, fulfilling, and lasting partnership. With the divorce rate reaching a staggering 50 percent in 2013 and the breakup rate among unmarried long-term couples even higher, it appears that the more we tweet, the more disconnected we become. So many of us believe that new is better, hotter, and more intense, but love at first sight isn't really love, it's chemistry. Developing the connections and intimacy that everyone craves takes time and skill. Guests Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson, authors of Partners in Passion are sharing their best tips and advice to help guide listeners to discovering true, loving, and romantically sexual relationships that will last for decades. A graduate of NYU and Yale, MARK A MICHAELS writes for scholarly and legal publications and his plays have been produced off-Broadway. He took his first Tantra class in 1997 and gave his first lecture on the subject two years later. PATRICIA JOHNSON spent many years as a professional operatic soprano. In 1999, a longstanding interest in Tantra inspired her to attend a lecture by Mark Michaels, now her husband and collaborator. Since then, she and Michaels have taught and lectured throughout the world. They live in New York City. Please connect with Mark and Patricia via their website, Facebook and Twitter @ptrsinpassion.
