Emotional maturity – a state at which the mental and emotional capabilities of a person are developed.

While young adults, we think about close relationships more. It refers to marriage mostly. Many of us decide to get married and start a family. When in middle adulthood, we start to look outside ourselves and start to care for others. The goal is to contribute to society in the way we can.

In young adulthood, the main goal is to develop intimacy with someone, while in middle adulthood is developing a sense of having contributed to society.

The factors that determine how well a person will adjust to marriage are communication, emotional maturity, values and interests. If couples communicate well, it will help them build and maintain healthy relationship. Emotional maturity is important as well. They should understand each other, try to get compromise and dont always think about themselves first. When they share values and interests to each other, it strengthens their relationship and marriage.

A parent must meet a child’s basic needs and serve his child’s best interests. They have the right to physical and legal custody, right to pass property to a child via gift or inheritance and right to a child’s earnings and to inherit from the child in the event of death. They have a financial duty in order to support their child until the age of 18 and they must serve a child’s emotional and physical needs and protect him from abuse. The majority of states allow teen parents the same rights as adults but they may struggle with parenting issues even more than adults if they are unmarried. A teen father has a chance to legally assert his right to take part in the child’s life, and may also seek to be included on the birth certificate. A court can ask for genetic testing in order to create a legal requirement for child support. If a mother is living with her parents, that doesn’t mean that they have any legal right or requirement to care for the baby. They can collect an additional fee for supporting the child but they don’t have legal right to make decisions about the child.

Teen marriage can be very difficult and full of disadvantages. Teenage parents often neglect the opportunities offered to them. Couples must compromise on many issues and by doing this, personal goals are often neglected. This is a big problem in teen years because they may miss the opportunity to get higher education or even drop their current education. If their maturity did not reach an adult level, they might irritate each other with their attitudes and get tired of each other much faster than adults. If pregnancy happens, it could cause pressures and complications on which they are not prepared to deal with. Adolescence is a period in which they find more about themselves, and when they do, they could find out that they are maybe not right for each other. Teens often don’t value marriage as an institution that demands commitment and respect. They often get married just to satisfy a desire and not think about what they`re entering into.
