8 Differences Between A Mature Relationship And An Immature Relationship

Jan 09, 2019 by apost team

Couples who are mature aren't reckless with falling in love. That is the honest truth. When you think about falling in love, you think about falling with little or no control. That's isn't what responsible and mature people do. Mature people will try to have some sense of control over any type of situation they are in. Mature people don't exactly ever fall in love in the usual sense if the term. They carefully walk into it. They own it.

This is how it should be. Love shouldn't be about falling. You need to be able to have some control over your love. You can fall in love with almost anyone. However, you should be able to control how much you allow yourself to love that person. 

You always have the control to choose how to show the love that is in your heart. If you already realize this, this is a sign of your maturity.A lot of immature couples don’t realize this. They end up falling out of love. They take love for granted because they don’t think it is in their control. It's wrong to think this way. How do you know if you have an immature kind of love?

There are a few different signs to be aware of. Love isn’t supposed to be as complicated as many people make it out to be. It shouldn’t be filled with drama and sadness. It shouldn’t be forced. True love shouldn’t be something that makes you feel like you are forcing yourself to be a certain way. You should write your own narrative. Drama is for people who are chasing the story of love instead of love itself. True love is for mature people who chase love itself.

Love should make you feel calm and at peace. It should make you feel comfortable and happy. It should be like a protective blanket that fills you with warmth and protects you from the harsh cold. When you love someone and they love you back, there shouldn’t be any doubt that makes you question how you feel about one another.

You should feel proud and humbled at the same time. It should give you a sense of peace in your heart. Mature relationships search for this sense of stability and comfort. However, immature relationships are the ones looking for an interesting story and some drama.
