Love Will Keep Us Together...Or Not! Tony Tennille talks to Dr. Marissa and relates!

Special monthly series Sexual Healing with Dr. Marissa, the new Asian Ruth brings a delightful Toni Tennille to the show, who takes the host back to the beginning of her relationship with the The Captain, keyboardist Daryl Dragon, to the attraction, and the 39 year failed attempt to infuse her partner with the same joie de vi·vre as she had. From initial intrigue to a love founded on Toni's respect for her husband's musical brilliance, her story has some similarities to Dr. Marissa's own journey with her 'wasband', trying to 'get milk from a tractor' and changing people...explaining why she stayed so long in a loveless and intimacy-less marriage. Toni Tennille also takes us back to her performances with Elton John, her Grammy winning records, the successful 1 year variety show and the difficult times she experienced getting cut off from her own desires because they made the reclusive behind the scenes Captain uncomfortable. What is truly admirable is the way she is able to speak of those years and not blame, but still find the best and the good that came from the 4 decades as a duo. Now that the divorce is final 40 years later, Toni shares what is important to her, her enthusiasm for life and her continued love for music. Dr. Marissa tries to give advice she doesn't use herself (Ha!) and encourages Toni to be open to that love she didn't get from The Captain, so if you are interested, send resume with picture to Dr. Marissa! A beautiful talented and inspiring woman, Toni Tennille's parting advice ends the show with a chuckle...her memoir is worth the read so get it at Amazon Books...because Love will Keep Me Together! Now on her own, Toni is a great example of Sexual Healing in Action..and Dr. Marissa is determined to make Pleasure a G-Rated topic!
