MATURITY MEANS BEING EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY HEALTHY. IT IS THAT TIME WHEN YOU KNOW WHEN TO SAY YES, WHEN TO SAY NO, AND WHEN TO SAY " GIVE ME A LARGE WHISKY... QUICK !!! "
Hehe !!!

Emotional maturity develops with age,life experience,incidental passages.
Its the state when you know what you are doing (even in full extreme emotional state),is it legal,safe to do anything just thru emotions,what will be the consequences after wards etc.
It should work always either in "pushed to the limit time" or trying times.
I use it equally in those two states.
Human brain has two parts,one handles emotions,while other logic,reasons.
I think all the successful,happy people in the world have controlled emotions,even extreme emotional states with some logic and reasonings.
Cause they were emotionally matured.

Yes, you can use emotional maturity in trying times but you can also be pushed to the limit; Anger is an emotion and, provided we use it properly, it is healthy. Many people however, think it is not good to have anger, mainly because they were brought up not to show any!

I consider myself evenly balanced and I'm very happy with myself and No, it is not a nice thing at all to feel angry but when you are dealing with someone who is obnoxious and determined to push you and all to the limit, like a child, yes, you do feel this way and rightly so and like any parent whose child becomes obnoxious, you have to put your foot down.
It only happened once or twice with my daughter and I dealt with it by insisting she went to her room that minute! That was all it took, a few seconds later she would say sorry, we'd hug and all would be forgotten.

There was more music in this household than family squabbles although we would both rush to see who could get to the keyboards first!

Emotionally mature means that you endeavour to sort things out in a controlled and effective way, however some can push things way past normal human endurance.. and this is when it has to stop. It is at these times when you expect and hope for support from friends and family.. and your co workers.. because they can be assured that I would never turn my back should the situation be reversed. And lastly, I am very pleased I have emotions, some people are so controlled they cannot show any!

One more thing. Communication with friends who are also suffering is actually very therapeutic in disolving the after effects of having to assert yourself. If the person responsible sees or hears anything, well they should have thought about that before setting out to deliberately antagonise and hurt. Such people who listen and look through keyholes are bound to find things they don't like! I define this as emotionally IMmaturity and completely unacceptable to complain about and especially when they try to enlist support from those who weren't hit with their intentionally obnoxious behaviour, which had no cause. As my mother used to say, people in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones!

There are some people who show support for both sides, thinking that this is the answer, unfortunately I view this as weak when it is obvious who should be supported; in my view, all this does is to antagonise and alienate all the other parties involved and is a way of safely hedging your bets.

I won't even attempt to outdo the brilliant answers to this question! They've said it all, and said it well!

Emotional maturity is knowing how to keep your cool, remaining dignified with composure in a trying event. In other words, using your brain before engaging your mouth. I used mine today when a lady ran over my foot with her shopping cart then gave ME a dirty look, like I was in HER way. I was emotional mature when I refrained from telling her to go take a flying F--K!

Spirituality suggests we maintain neutral attitude in all circumstances. Neither too happy when we feel good, nor too sad in sorrow. That is ultimate emotional maturity. But this is of very high order, and achievable only by very few.

Practical maturity will be not to react too strong, and too early to any situation, however bad or good it might be. Let the tide pass. Weight the situation, form an opinion slowly, and then act.

emotion maturity when you no longer let your feelings make your mature decisions for you and you can handle things better family death divorce financial responsibility rejection things in life you have to deal with,,,,,,,that your parents used to

Emotional maturity requires a certain amount of physical and mental maturity. Bible principles furnish the best help toward attaining to emotional maturity. It has been defined as the ability to get along harmoniously with one’s fellows with the minimum of friction. Its sum and substance are the two Scriptural requirements of loving your neighbor and exercising self-control.<br />
In fact, it might be said that children do not become emotionally mature unless they are reared in a climate of love. Children must be taught to practice love themselves, to think of others. They must be trained in principles of justice and righteousness, must learn to submit to authority and to appreciate that all freedoms are relative. Where parents have failed along these lines, the individual can bring himself to emotional maturity by application of Bible principles and the help of God’s spirit and other divinely provided aids. In addition to the plain and explicit commands in God’s Word regarding what is required of us in loving ourselves and our neighbor, the Bible also contains many fine examples to follow and many warning examples of things to avoid, all of which is conducive to our achieving emotional maturity.<br />

Emotional maturity also includes satisfactory sexual adjustment. The emotionally mature person is not frustrated, be the one married or single. If the individual is single, that one remains chaste, fleeing fornication. If the person is married, that one limits sex interest to one’s own mate, one’s own flesh.<br />
<br />
The emotionally mature person is able to exercise self-control regardless of the circumstances. He does not lose his temper or succumb to passion under temptation. Here again we have no better aid than God’s Word with its express commands, reasons and examples, all uniting to strengthen us to exercise self-control.<br />
