How Can We Enhance Emotional Maturity for Better Relationships?
A lack of emotional maturity can destroy wonderful feelings
A balanced quality and quantity of our emotions determine the success of our relationships. Therefore, relationships revolve around emotions.
Positive, uplifting, and supportive emotions feed our relationships. Negative, destructive, diminishing emotions sabotage them. Emotional maturity can rescue risky relationships. Let me explain.
Studies show that emotionally intelligent people have better relationships with partners, kids, parents, other family members, colleagues, community members, and even strangers.
Emotional intelligence creates the foundation but is not enough to build sustainable relationships. Emotional experience, skills, and capacity allow relationships to flourish.
To convey my message, I use the term emotional maturity covering emotional intelligence, emotion handling skills, tolerance to the intensity of emotions, and reasoning.
Emotional maturity requires both emotional intelligence and reasoning. Integrating emotions with logic might create the best outcome for relationship building and maintenance.
