Are You “Emotionally Mature” in Love? Take the Test.
<p>Most people think they are emotionally mature.</p>
<p>Or at least they’re not admitting otherwise. I’ve never had a client say “please help me with my emotional immaturity.”</p>
<p>It might be good if they did. Because emotional maturity — intelligence if you like — is the key to better, deeper, more fulfilling relationships, not just with partners but with anyone.</p>
<p>And, because of that, it’s the key to a better, richer, more enjoyable life.</p>
<h1>It takes two</h1>
<p>Emotional maturity refers to the ability to understand and manage emotions — to express them healthily and control them appropriately. It’s crucial in relationships because it influences trust, communication, intimacy and conflict resolution.</p>
<p>All couples have ups and downs but those who function well — and are happy together — tend to handle their “big” emotions healthily. Those who don’t, struggle. Disagreements blows out into massive fights, distance creeps in and anxiety sets up house inside the relationship.</p>
<p>The caveat here is that you need BOTH parties on board. Because even the most emotionally skilled person will struggle when they’re with a person at the immature end of the scale.</p>
<p>And it goes without saying that a match between two people who have no, or little, control of their emotions isn’t actually a match at all — it’s a firestorm.</p>
