My father, Jack Bradfield, left New Jersey and came to Miami in 1926, back when nobody bothered to count the horses in town. My mother, Hilda Arechavaleta, arrived a decade later from Havana; they married in October 1941. I was born in Miami in the late summer of 1942, at the height of World War II. My father was concerned about our safety during the war, and often sent my mother and me back to Cuba. We had a large family in Havana, where my grand-uncle was an ambassador from Cuba to various countries. His children pursued careers in law and medicine, but I planned to follow in his footsteps. My life was moving ahead idyllically as 1958 came to an end. I prepared myself for high school graduation and attendance at a faraway distant university to study diplomacy. Thoughts of marriage were long off in the future. Then in 1959, it happened. Castro seized power in Cuba and announced that he was a communist. Neither property nor people were safe. The time for hopes and dreams was over. I had to go to Cuba to help rescue my family. We evaded the gunfire from Castro’s army and eventually made our way to safety. Our home in Miami was a small one, adequate for my parents and myself. Now we were deluged with uncles, aunts, cousins, and our older relatives. I never knew what sleeping in shifts meant until then. My plans for European travel and foreign study were long dashed. Many of my relatives spoke no English and were still suffering from the shock and horrors of the Castro takeover. I was needed on the home front, so I enrolled in at the inexpensive Barry University and went to work nearly full time for the telephone company. I was twenty when I finished college and began teaching at a high school and adult education programs in Miami. I undertook my graduate studies in Mexico at Tecnologico de Monterrey, and my social life began. I started thinking about marriage. I knew that good things wouldn’t happen without effort and planning, but I didn’t yet have the specific skills I needed to plan for marriage. I pondered why many undeserving women (in my opinion) had great guys, and so many deserving women (in my opinion) did not. I wondered:
I realize there were many wonderful women who wanted marriage, but it wasn’t happening for them. Worse yet, many of these women were in their thirties and forties. Statistics demonstrated the grim possibility of marriage at their ages, with odds for marriage diminishing each successive year. As these and many other questions about marriage came to mind, I decide to seek the answers. In 1967, I was teaching Spanish and French in high school, and English and Spanish in adult education programs. One of my evening students in the Spanish-language program was George Kent. He was originally a Jesuit and engineer, and later became a lawyer and psychiatrist. George had a number of Spanish-speaking patients and clients, and asked me to be his translator. As an attorney, George had a number of female clients who had been left by their husbands after long marriages and were distressed about their prospects. As a psychiatrist, he had a number of patients who were single women and despondent over their marriage chances. As I worked with George, I realized that there was a pattern to these marriage problems. I decided to turn these patterns into a strategy and use them to marry George, with whom I had fallen in love. I put my plan into effect in September 1968. By Christmas, George had made a commitment to me. We were engaged on Valentine’s Day in 1969 and married that June. Many of my friends heard about my success with George and asked me to help them. I put together a marriage course for six of them, and they each married about six months after the course ended. Some four hundred people have completed the course between 1969 though and 1979. Every single one of the four hundred was married within four years, and most were married within two. I began to formulate a comprehensive marriage strategy, which was to have two foundations:
I met Robert Feinschreiber, a renowned tax expert, on December 30, 1981. We married December 30, 1984. Although the marriage process I advocate usually takes two years, it took me three. Why? Well, I didn’t start going out with Robert until more than a year and a half after meeting him. Of course, I used the marriage strategy again with Robert. He is so smart, he sensed it. Often he would say, “I know you are doing something different; promise me you won’t ever stop.” Many major talk shows invited me as a guest, often more than once. I was Oprah Winfrey’s first guest when her Chicago talk show went national! Phil Donahue, Larry King, Geraldo Rivera, Regis Philbin, Montel Williams, Joan Rivers, Sally Jessy Raphaël, and Maury Povich are among my other most favorite U.S. interviewers, together with Tom Charrington in Canada, Terry Wogan in the United Kingdom, and Gay Byrne in Ireland. Then there were Spanish-language shows, including Cristina, Sabado Gigante, and Despierta America. Like many of you, I have multifaceted interests, and do other things in life. I practice law in Florida with Robert, focusing on divorce, wills and probate, and discrimination cases, tax work, and export incentives. We have also been participating in the privatization of economies of in countries formerly part of the USSR. The UN sends us on missions. I’ve had the unusual privilege of dining at the Kremlin on various occasions and visiting Russia’s former secret atomic city. It’s my pleasure to help women and men all over the world.

Like most of you, I grew up expecting to have a fantastic husband, wonderful children, a spacious home, and an exciting career. These were all supposed to “just happen,” as if they were “meant to be.” I went to school, attended church, and made friends, but I didn’t sit down to plan for my future. It wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I decided to take full charge of my life – including marriage.
My first marriage ended tragically. George’s unexpected death in 1979 sent me into deep mourning for more than a year. Then I decide it was time to start living again and find another great husband – despite the fact that I was almost forty! I began law school in 1980, completed it in 1983, and became an attorney in Florida.
