Wise old men and “green” youth

When the caravan was being started from Sverdlovks, subjects discussed there drew attention of wise old men and “green” youth alike. More than 60 persons came to learn something useful or to share useful experiences. Because while preparation to family life is subject of interest for those intended to marry, ways and means for problem solution in mixed marriages are a matter of concern for couples with good experiences in family life.

Priority setting in a right way

Subject to separate discussion was what a contemporary Muslim woman should look like. What should she do to go with the times, to be successful in social life and effective in professional career, but to remain keen, loving and solicitous wife and mother. However high are the community-set criteria of success, it is important that she is not played out in racing for unattainable ideal and set up priorities in a right way.
