This book asks, If that is true, why do so many of us—even those who are in a relationship—feel unhappy and alone? And it answers that there is no joy if there is no one to share it with. As a poet said long ago, \"No man is an island .... \"\nA uniquely warm combination of oral wisdom and current research, Partners in Pleasure is nothing less than a re-visioning of marriage. It offers eight lessons in mahele (sharing)—eight pleasure prescriptions for partners, from dreaming die same dream to becoming one body. Woven throughout are partnering tests; relationship lessons from Hawai`i's foremost kupuna (elders) and kahuna (healers or priests); and insights from Dr. Pearsall's own work and seminars.\nPartners in Pleasure shows couples how they can come together to face the challenges of life—conflict, sexual compatibility, child-rearing, career setbacks and getting old—and grow ever stronger together, united in heart.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0897933230\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0897933230.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pearsall Ph.D., Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
