Many people probably didn't think that Phyllis was anything
special. Single lady that lived alone all of her life. No kids. No
husband. No grand career. But Phyllis had an active inner life
along with an adventuresome spirit that led her into all sorts of
situations. She worked for the American Embassy in Spain and Greece
just after World War II, biked and skied around Europe with her dog
Chispa, worked with famous midcentury Modernist architect E. Stuart
Williams, had movie legend Pepe Serna for a landlord, and once had
to have Jose Greco do her plumbing And on a hair-thin budget she
managed to survive and weather the storms that one has in life, all
while supporting those less fortunate. She indeed was special to
those around her. This book of poetry and escapades is a revelation
about the uniqueness of us all, if we just look hard enough to find
it. ... and Phyllis thought to herself, ... "Here I am, drinking
whiskey and dancing with a man who is an almost total stranger in a
night club in Basel, Switzerland, at three in the morning. Not bad
for a middle-aged school teacher from California "
In America, there is one divorce every thirteen seconds. That's
6,646 divorces per day and 46,523 divorces per week. Why is the
divorce rate so high? Are people getting married too soon and not
getting to really know each other first, or are couples throwing in
the towel on their marriage without truly trying? When God ordained
the marriage of a man and a woman, He never said it would be easy,
because it involves the union of two imperfect people, blending
together with their own imperfections. Marriage is not a fairy
tale, with a "happily ever after" ending. However, it is a union
that requires two people working together daily at becoming one and
developing the ability to recognize the attacks of the enemy. In A
Well-Rounded Love Affair, you will learn how to focus on specific
areas to help your relationship blossom. Some of the important
areas are:
- Covering your marriage with prayer - Learning to forgive -
Realizing selfish love can't thrive - You and your spouse working
together to become one
Through your reading, you will further see that it will take
more than intimacy to hold your marriage together.

many.
