MATURITY IN A RELATIONSHIP:
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
