We make thousands or errors of judgment during our lifetime, but most of them don’t matter because they are associated with trivial issues or have little influence on our lives.  If, for instance, I think some bozo is a jerk and I am wrong, what difference does it make?  I have no contact with that particular bozo anyway.  If, however, we make errors of judgment in important areas of our life, then severe consequences may follow.  Within the context of close relationships, errors of judgment can lead to an impossible marriage and truckloads of personal pain and anguish.  The discussion that follows addresses different errors of judgment in the context of personal relationships.
