This is one of the most pithy bits of marital advice I’ve ever read, but easier said than done! Emotional maturity seems to exhibit a very pronounced Dunning-Kruger effect. Also, people continue to mature emotionally in adulthood and this can occur at very different rates.
Just as a vivid example, recovery from addiction/alcoholism can often create rapid changes in emotional maturity.
