The young scold - they amuse themselves, and the old men scold - they rage.
Quote Explanation: In Rus', a wedding was played once before and families were created for life. The girl left her father's house and could no longer return there. She humbled herself and endured her husband so as not to be expelled from his house. There were quarrels, but they should not go beyond the bedroom of the spouses. Husband and wife reconciled and lived on. If in youth healthy relationships were laid, then in old age they will be manifested by mutual patience and respect. Conversely, an unreasonable attitude towards others and life in general leads to madness in old age.
