In this article, mental maturity for marriage is understood as the sum of three significant elements that build long-term interpersonal relationships: 1) self acceptance; 2) internal integration; 3) approach to marriage and family life. During research there took a part 90 men. The obtained results showed that young men with a higher level of psychological maturity for marriage are characterized by much greater emotional intelligence than men with a lower level of psychological maturity for marriage.
