Emotional Maturity
A mature person exhibits I sight and foresight in his thinking and is able to evaluate himself realistically. He is able to anticipate the results of his actions, make sound judgments and decisions, demonstrate a sense of independence, and assume responsibility for his own behavior. The mature person is able to give as well as receive love and affection. He does not act impulsively but shows flexibility, control, and adaptability. Although no person is mature in every area, progress is made when he understands the causes of his immature actions. The disposition, patterns of behavior, and maturity in thinking and actions are great importance in the making of a marriage. Persons with neurotic personalities or psychopathic tendencies have difficult making adjustments in human relations. A girl, for example, who is strongly tied to her mother lacks self-reliance and goes home at the slightest disagreement with her husband. A man may fly into a rage when he meets obstacles, or he may try to escape his responsibilities or feelings of inadequacy by resorting to alcohol. Persons bring into marriage a fairly fixed personality structure that will not be changed much by marriage. Men and women who are kind, friendly, cooperative, and tolerant are likely to make good husbands and wives. The irresponsible and domineering in single life will carry those traits into marriage.

When we think of someone who’s emotionally mature, we typically picture a person who has a good understanding of who they are. Even if they don’t have all the answers, an emotionally mature individual gives off a sense of “calm amid the storm.” They’re the ones we look to when going through a difficult time because they perform well under stress.In other words, emotional maturity is when someone can manage their emotions no matter their circumstances. Taking responsibility People with emotional maturity are aware of their privilege in the world and will try to take steps toward changing their behavior. This means you don’t blame others (or yourself) when something goes awry. You possess a spirit of humility — instead of complaining about your circumstances, you become action-oriented. You may ask, “What can I do to improve this situation?” Showing empathy Emotionally mature individuals approach life by doing as much good as they can and supporting those around them. You know how to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Meaning, you often feel more concern for others and try to find ways of helping. Owning mistakes You know how to apologize when you’ve done wrong. No excuses. You’ll admit your mistakes and try to find ways of rectifying the situation. You also don’t have the desire to be right all the time. Instead, you’ll acknowledge that you indeed don’t have “all the answers.” Being unafraid of vulnerability You’re always willing to open up and share your own struggles so others feel less alone. You’re also not interested in being seen as “perfect” all the time. Emotional maturity means being honest about your feelings and building trust with those around you because you don’t have an agenda. Recognizing and accepting needs Those with emotional maturity can admit when they need help or when they’re burning out. For example, you’ll acknowledge when you need a break and know when to ask your boss for a day off. You’re also able to clearly communicate with your partner for more help around the house. Setting healthy boundaries Setting healthy boundaries is a form of self-love and respect. You know how and when to define a line and won’t allow others to cross it. If a colleague belittles or puts you down, you won’t stand for it and will let your voice be heard. Nice post dear!
