Looking at the condition of modern marriages, a growing number of divorces has been observed over the last decades. One of the reasons is the immature personality of spouse (spouses). The aim of the article is to present and analyse the mature personality and its criteria relying on humanistic psychology and applying trait theory, whose representatives are G. W. Allport and R. B Cattell. Thanks to these criteria, it is possible to understand the characteristic traits of mature personality. The indicators are, among others, realistic perception of reality, problem solving skills, creating and maintaining close relationships with people, possessing mature emotionality, self-actualization, self-education, coherent worldview, hierarchy of values and religious convictions. The article is a reference point for further reflections on marriage indicating that the lack of mature personality of spouses may result in conflicts between them.
