HOW TO BE MATURE IN RELATIONSHIP AND MARRIAGE

Maturity is not age. It is the ability to do the right thing at the right time and at the right place. It is the ability to think wisely. Maturity is needed to make a
relationship last. The reason there are many breakups is due to either lack of maturity of the two partners or lack
of maturity of one of the partners.

Maturity in a relationship
includes the following:
1. Maturity is the ability to tolerate your partner. A mature person ignores some
bad characters of his/her partner. Nobody is perfect. Overlook some minor behaviours of your partner. A mature person does not quit a relationship over a slight provocation.

2. Maturity is the ability to control your anger. A mature person does not react
instantly to an anger. Any decision you take when angry can be very dangerous.
Calm down. Allow your anger cool down before you act. This is maturity.
3. Maturity is the ability to open to your partner and express your feelings
whenever he/she offends you. Keeping malice or grudges does not portray any sense of maturity.

4. Maturity is the ability to forgive your partner when he/she offends you and
apologises. Let us apply this to our
relationship. It will help to ensure that we have a happy relationship.
