Author Biography

Robert Harris was born in 1950 in Los Angeles, California. He holds a PhD in English from the University of California at Riverside. His interest in marriage and relationships started many years ago, while he was still sin-gle, observing married couples interact. He saw some couples function as a harmonious unit and other couples treating each other as enemies. In later years, continued observation, personal experience, and substantial research led him to consider sharing what he had learned. He began mounting Web pages about improving relationships. Then one day he witnessed a young couple in a supermarket arguing in hostile tones over whether to buy a particular jar of jelly. It oc-curred to him then that a short, easily accessible little book about marriage might be helpful for such couples. Not long after that, he was reading in the book of Proverbs, and the idea for the current volume took root. Dr. Harris lives in Tustin with his excellent wife, Marie.
