Among the many spectacles Friday's inter-Korean summit offered was the two Korea's first ladies' first-ever meeting with one another, and the seemingly instant bond they formed.

Ri Sol-ju, the wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, made her much-anticipated appearance at Panmunjeom at 6:18 p.m. on Friday. She did not accompany her husband when he came for talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in earlier in the day, and her attendance at the summit dinner remained unconfirmed until afternoon.

Upon her arrival, Ri was greeted by Kim Jung-sook, the wife of South Korean President Moon Jae-in.



In a historic meeting, Ri Sol-ju, the wife of Kim-Jong Un (right, in the pink dress) and Kim Jung-sook , the wife of President Moon (left, in the blue dress), met, marking the first time the two Korean first ladies had ever come together.

It was the first time a North Korean first lady had ever met her South Korean counterpart.

Kim, who is some 30 years Ri's senior, extended a warm welcome and took her to the Peace House, where the summit had been taking place since earlier in the day. Ri was wearing a pastel pink dress, while Kim was wearing a powder-blue dress coat. Local media outlets interpreted the choice of their dress colors as representing spring - the season that symbolizes a new beginning, hope and peace.

"I'm a little embarrassed to be here since I didn't get to contribute anything," Ri said, when South Korean President Moon mentioned his wife made sure the Peace House looked at its best for the summit.

The theme of spring was used repeatedly throughout the summit dinner. A dessert named "spring of the Korean people" was served; it featured a pastel-blue unified Korea flag on a white background with decorative flowers on mango mousse. Also during the dinner, a South Korean child sang "Spring in My Hometown," a popular Korean folk song written in the 1920s, well before the division of the two Koreas.

And the two first ladies, in spite of seeing each other for the first time, seemed to have bonded well after the spring-themed banquet event.

The two were holding hands as they left the Peace House after the dinner, and did not let go of each other's hands until they reached an outdoor property where they watched a special performance celebrating the historic summit together.

Ri and Kim also exchanged hugs before the North Korean first lady and her husband left for Pyongyang following the summit in Panmunjeom.

"It was also as touching to see the first ladies bond on live TV, just as it was to see President Moon and Kim Jong-un meeting each other for the first time," said Park Jin-ee, a working professional in Seoul.

"It was almost as if watching a mother and her daughter enjoying their time together."

Park Hyun-ah, another Seoul resident, said seeing Kim and Ri felt different from seeing the South Korean first lady with her counterparts in other countries, such as US first lady Melania Trump.

"I think our first lady Kim has an outgoing personality, and she usually bonds with people very well," Park told The Korea Herald. "But what touched me was that Kim did not need an interpreter to communicate with Ri, unlike when she was with first ladies from other countries. It just reminded me that the two Koreas used to share many things together."

Kim 62, met her husband President Moon Jae-in while attending Kyung Hee University in Seoul. They married in 1981 and have two children. Her friendly and approachable nature has earned her the nickname "Happy Mrs. Jung-sook."

Ri, who is believed to be in her late 20s, is reported to have studied music and singing in China. She also visited South Korea back in 2005 for the Asian Athletics Championships in Incheon as part of a cheering squad. It has been reported that Ri worked as a singer before marrying the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. According to the South's spy agency, Ri and Kim have three children together.

In spite of many differences, the two women have music in common. South Korean first lady Kim also majored in singing in university.

"You two have a similar educational background," South Korean President Moon Jae-in told his wife and Ri before the summit dinner. Kim was also present during the conversation.

"I hope you can collaborate on cultural and artistic exchanges between the two Koreas in future."

You have planned a weekend especially for the kids filled with fun activities that you are looking forward to, but your husband seems resentful, disinterested or upset without any apparent trigger. If this sounds familiar to you, there is a good chance that your husband might be jealous of all the attention that you are showering on your children.

International marriage expert Erin Smalley a woman's marriage should come first, above her children.

"This may sound contrary to what we believe is best for a child, but the best thing we can do for our children is to have a great marriage," says Erin.

You express your affection towards each member of the family differently. When you 'mother' your children, you may appear warmer and more concerned about them than when you interact with your spouse. He could interpret this behaviour negatively and feel unloved as a result. Avoid hurting him and send the message to your children that their father is the top of your priorities.

Care for your children as a team
Child rearing can take up a lot of your time. For this reason, many women struggle to set aside time that they can devote 100 per cent of their attention to their husbands.

Erin suggests that you and your husband work out a team strategy to tackle child care responsibilities. If you are the one doing all the child minding, you will not have enough time for him.

Divide the work in a practical way such that you support different functions. For example, you can be in charge of meal preparation while he takes charge of getting them ready for school in the morning.

The idea is that both of you have a shared amount of energy and time devoted to taking care of the children allowing you to have a separate reserve of energy and time specifically for your husband.

The breakdown of time does not have to be 50:50, says Erin. What matters is that you signal to your husband that the attention that you give him will not be compromised even during busy periods in the school year or when your children demand a lot of your energy.

"Similarly, the message that never changes to the children is that 'our marriage is most important'," says Erin.

They do not get to demand things of you until the needs of your husband are met.



Set aside 'mommy and daddy' time

Set aside 'mommy and daddy' time
One way to show your children that their dad is your priority is to designate time for the both of you to be alone.

"Have a set bedtime for them," says Erin. "Make it clear that once they are in bed, they should not disrupt mommy and daddy's exclusive time together." During this time, you can share meaningful conversations with your husband that you otherwise would not talk about when the kids are present.

Show your love
Always speak highly of your husband in front of the kids. Never complain about his behaviour or criticise him when they are around.

Demonstrate your love and affection for your spouse to them. Hugs and kisses may gross the kids out, but they validate your husband and also serve as a signal to your children that he is the most important.

Affirm your husband at least once a day. Erin says, "Men long for their wives to recognise what they are doing in their careers and at home, and to affirm their efforts and character."



Remove other distractions like answering handphone and social media.

Remove other distractions
"A common phenomenon that we observe between couples these days is 'phubbing', or phone snubbing," Erin says. When you are together, you or your partner may spend most of the time looking down at your smart devices.

This can make the other party feel as though you aren't interested in what they have to say. It sends the message that someone or something else on the phone or tablet is more important than them.

Make a commitment to set aside your smart phones during precious time together, particularly if you have prearranged it, such as on date night.

If you think your spouse is always glued to his electronics, Erin encourages you to initiate conversation more.

Show him that you are interested in his life, and that you are more interesting than his screen.



Make a commitment to attract your spouse's attention such that it is always glued to you and nothing else.

Revelation is kind if scary but it has a GREAT ending! (Revelation 22:2-5). The tree of life connects the ground and our physical existence to the skies and the heavens. It unites all forms of life to mother earth and the universe. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh.
