Psychological study after psychological study has shown that humans have the natural capacity for intentional behavior, be it good or bad behavior. Intentional behavior is created by having experiences and having the capability to be able to think about and to find meaning in those experiences. Scholars have found that it is through these experiences with intentional behavior that a human is able to fully mature into a well-balanced person. It is only through human interaction that a person has the opportunity and tools necessary to mature socially and psychologically into an adult.

What makes a mature adult is an adult with the capacity and experience to take care of their self while being able to help the whole of society meet communal needs. When an individual has good and regular social interactions with already recognizable mature people, the individual learns from the interactions and is able to figure out how to use the knowledge that was learned. Then, the individual can mature fully. Maturity does not take a high level of intelligence, but it does mandate a person to have the time to think about what was learned and how the individual will use that information within his or her own personality. Studies have found it is vital for people to model their behavior after mature people and that those mature people have many years of experience in being fully responsible for taking care of others. The key to developing full maturity is it takes a good level of intelligence and a sincere effort in making the necessary time to contemplate about becoming a mature adult.

Once an individual is mature, the individual has the feelings, thoughts and awareness to handle a relationship with someone whom the individual seems to love.

This process takes a lot of sincere effort, time and dedication to maintain a successful and happy relationship. It is common, during a relationship, to have moments of disagreements and moments of selfishness. but these moments usually are rectified through mature and thoughtful apologies.
