I don't know about men, but I've noticed women change a lot after marriage, when they become a wife.

Usually men too.

But actually the bigger factor that build man's maturity is not having a wife, but having kid(s).

I think older siblings, especially the eldest, mature super fast.

Well, I'm still maturing. Although, I think the inner child in me is permanent now. The ship to maturity has sailed a long time ago. Or maybe I never had a ship to begin with. I still laugh about poo and pee with my students.

Which question? definition of mentally mature?

- If you think and consider the consequences of your actions before you do it.
- If you dare to be responsible for the actions you have done.
- If you could be fair to people around you.
- If you can decide what is best for you and those around you.

Beside the four above, there are other signs of mentally maturity. Maybe other members can add the other.
 
"We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, 'O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam.' (The Noble Quran, 46:15)"
 
by about forty,we ourselves become parents,that in itself brings much lessons and understandings from both angles,from the time we were once children,teenagers,the struggles of that time,and now understanding the struggles and worries,joys of parenthood..both stages are in a balance...

well as the youngest I can tell you that I have matured rather fast myself. But there have been certain factors for that I suppose...

Don't tell it to my siblings. They will laugh.

I am the eldest in the family. I have a brother and two sister. When I was young many people asked me "are you the younger brother of ....." I always replied "no, I'm his older brother". But people always asked the same question. So I asked my close friends "why people always assume my younger brother is older than me?", and they answer "because he is more mature than you".
 
Whenever I go shopping or play video games, I feel like my maturity level drops a couple of decades backwards ;D
 
I'm quite mature for my age, but I'm still immature at times : D
 
I used to think in my teens i was very mature and knew everything about the world but this was untrue.
 
At the end of each decade I thought I had matured, only to discover different each time I entered a new decade. I reached independence and was self supporting by the age of 14. But now that I am in my 70s I realize I still have not reached full maturity, but getting closer.

I was probably 23 when I reached full responsibility and the ability to provide for others, but I now know each decade brings a new awareness of maturity and new goals.
 
I feel like I matured properly at about 15, that was when I stopped complaining about having to go to Islamic school, stopped throwing daily tantrums, and just grew up.
Maybe it was more resignation than maturity though :hmm:
Every year I look back and I realise I was nowhere near as mature as I thought I was, and I have a feeling this well never stop, :statisfie
 
Salam all,

Its kind of difficult question, I dont know if I was mature already though I started taking responsibility at earlier age (suppose to be playing time).

Although since working I take big responsibilities, I dont know if thats mature enough

I am only certain that I become stable since becoming Muslim, and being stable in mind means being mature to me.
And it was just a year ago... indeed too late huh?
I was 25years old


Alhamdollellah
 
I think very recently.....and now I'm 24. ;D Except I still love Teddy Bears and talking to dolls.

Before this age all I thought were freedom freedom freedom, playing, scared of marriage when someone proposed me because I thought it's a shackle.

With age comes a wisdom :statisfie


[quotes]She compared me with my siblings and always says You are eldest and most immature,dumb. [/quotes]

Oh that's so unfair. Your mum is human too, and she can do mistake.
Don't let anyone define who you are. You are what you believe about yourself.
 
Assalamu-alaikum,

Everyone matures at a different stage in life.....some earlier, some later - depending on ones lifes experiences, gender (women mature earlier than men.....and i think, some men dont ever fully mature :/ ).

There are orphaned teenagers who need to assume the head of their households, and are wiser beyond their years.
While there are those in their mid-20s who have led such a comforted and sheltered life, that they havent been given the 'opportunity' to mature.

I dont think there is a 'defined period' where one suddenly realises that he/she has 'mentally matured'.

Its an on-going process.

Looking back on our lives, we tend to feel a certain degree maturer and more knowledgable than before.
If we dont - then this would truly be a sad state to find oneself in.
