Emotional maturity implies understanding of oneself, Understanding of the word and understanding of realities of life. Most of our emotional problems arise because we have not understood ourselves and our needs. Whenever there is an emotional situation, it implies an unmet need. By understanding ourselves and connection to our feeling and needs, we can fulfill our needs as well as grow into a mature person. Emotional Maturity implies controlling ones emotions rather than letting our emotions get the better of us. Our emotional maturity depicts our capacity to manage and to check our emotions to evaluate others" emotional state and to persuade their judgment and actions. A person"s emotional maturity is very much influenced by his/her relationship history. Emotional intelligence makes an important part of life, together with intellectual and relationship intelligence. Such intelligence can help one to assess emotional maturity and emotional freedom. How well we can tackle any relationship, is a major discernible factor to check our level of emotional maturity.
According to Charles E. Skinner (1949), an emotionally mature person is one who is able to keep a lid on his feelings. He can suffer in silence; he can bid his time in spite of present discomfort. He is not subject to swings in mood, he is not volatile. When he does express emotion, he does so with moderation, decency and in good order.
According to Walter D. Smitson (1974), "Emotional Maturity is a process in which the personality is continuously striving for greater sense of emotional health, both intra-physically and intra-personally." According to Crow and Crow (1974), "An emotion is an affective experience that accompanies generalized inner adjustment and mental and psychologically stirred up states in an individual and that shows itself in his overt behavior." According to Coleman (1944), "The most outstanding make of emotional maturity is the ability to bear tension. Besides, an emotionally matured person persists in the capacity of fun and recreation. He enjoys both play and responsible activities and keeps them in proper balance." According to Fred Mc. Kinney (1960), "The characteristics of an emotionally matured person are heterosexuality, appreciation of attitude and behavior of others tendency to adopt the attitude and habits of others and capacity to delay own responses".
The emotional maturity is best defined as our ability to become sensitive to our environment and the people we interact with. Our perceived emotions allow us the ability to control situations and create solutions. This emotional maturity is also known as having a sense of self.
Emotion is the complex psycho physiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interaction with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences. In humans, emotion fundamentally involves "physiological arousal, expressive behaviors and conscious experience." Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation. Motivations direct and energize behavior, while emotions provide the affective component to motivation, positive or negative. A related distinction is between the emotion and the results of the emotion, principally behaviors" and emotional expressions. People often behave in certain ways as a direct result of their emotional state, such as crying, fighting or fleeing. If one can have the emotion without a corresponding behavior, then we may consider the behavior not to be essential to the emotion.

The emotional mind is impulsive and powerful and sometimes illogical. These two minds operate in harmony with each other, most of times feelings are essential to thought, and most of the times thoughts to feeling. But when passions surge the balance tips: it is not just I.Q., but emotional intelligence that matters. Goleman rightly points out that, "It is not that we want to do away with emotions and put reason in its place, but instead find an intelligent balance of two Emotional maturity is a process in which the personality is continuously striving for greater sense of emotional health, both intra physically and intra-personally.
