You are Uninformed at that point when you think your partner is doing something odd or that “doesn’t make sense to you.” If you were informed, you wouldn’t think it odd, and you would see your partner’s sense.

Relativity and Relationships: Military Think

Al Turtle's Relationship Wisdom Posted on April 10, 2006 by Al TurtleFebruary 7, 2019  

I was amused to find that Einstein wrote about the same struggles I see in couples – who's point of view is the right one. Often a couple will say "we are arguing over the silliest of things." I usually reply, "I don't think so. I think you are struggling over something very important – who is boss. And this decision can seem like life and death." Here is more about this topic.

MasterTalk: A very simple idea

Al Turtle's Relationship Wisdom Posted on December 6, 2005 by Al TurtleMay 17, 2012

You Make Sense – Always!

Al Turtle's Relationship Wisdom Posted on November 11, 2005 by Al TurtleJuly 25, 2013 3

Probably no question has been put to me so often these days as to what I mean by the phrase “Make Sense.” The Diversity Principle: “All people make sense all the time,” is for me one of the most useful tools I've come up with. It allows me to connect with people who are doing things that I don?t at first understand or like. It allows me to continue to more and more fully understand myself. It is a keystone tool in helping people build self-esteem. And it is a tool that stands up clearly, setting me against what I call “the pathology of our culture.”
