I think a mentally mature woman keeps her cool even when her husband does or says something wrong about her in public. His actions may hurt her feelings, but she discusses it with him at a later time, in private, with a cool head. This is how respect and maturing in your marriage happens.
A couple of weeks ago my husband said something to someone important to us that was untrue and hurt my feelings. It made me sound like a selfish wife. After 28 years of marriage, I let it go. I discussed it with him in private the next day, after he had had some rest. I did not attack him. He already felt bad, he didn't mean it to come out that way. He said "I realized as soon as I said it, that it didn't come out right. That was not what I meant, and I do apologize."
All is forgiven! Which is also a trait of a mature woman, immediate forgiveness.
Love You, Dr. Laura!!!
