It is amazing how many times couples get in arguements over perceptions and do not even realize that the difference is their vantage point. I remember one arguement I started thinking my wife had snubbed me and ignored the trim carpentry I did in a room addition. She returned from shopping and went right into the kitchen to start supper. For her, I must be hungry so she was meeting a need. For me, I hoped she would compliment me on my work. Thankfully, we discovered the lack of considering our perspectives and corrected the problems created. Keep up the good work. Good comments, Paul.

Perception. Good one, Paul. To perceive is to understand, to understand is to believe, to believe is to act. There is nothing more damamging to your own credibility than to let negative perceptions go unchallenged. But, to do that you first have to be able to perceive when, of truth, you are being perceived negatively... and care enough to do something about it. Likely the woman's husband simply didn't care what she thought of him. For me, I would have met with her at the laundromat, just like we meet sometimes at the grocery store, simply because she asked me to. And we would have enjoyed each others company. Not bragging, it's just a fact because I care about how my wife perceives me, very much. And so, I will be good, just like I was created to be! Yes… Perception. Good one, Paul.

Never thought Relativity actually applied to relationships... but it appears that it actually does! Perception = Relativity
