MINIMISING DISTANCE IN MARRIAGE: SOCIAL DISTANCE!
Social distance refers to a situation in which the couple, though physically together, lack the warmth of social connection and a friendly vibe. Social distance in marriage can affect marital happiness significantly. It is therefore important to minimise distance as much as possible. Couples will have to strive to build a friendly bond, interact more, get as close to each other as possible, and enjoy each other’s company. This will minimise the social distance in the marriage and build better companionship, leading to a more intimate and happy marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

MINIMISING DISTANCE IN MARRIAGE: EMOTIONAL DISTANCE!
Apart from physical distance, which is very common, another common type of distance in marriage is emotional distance. This is a huge problem that affects a lot of marriages. It occurs when the couple lose their emotional connection with each other and tend to remain married only for the sake of being married. It kills love and intimacy in the marriage. To minimise emotional distance in marriage, it is important to stay open with your spouse, maintain vulnerability, and improve on communication. This will ultimately lead to building companionship and promoting intimacy in your marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

MINIMISING THE DISTANCE: PHYSICAL DISTANCE!
Since marriage was not made to be practiced on a distance mode, it is important to minimise the distance between you and your spouse as much as possible. This should include, among other types of distance, physical distance. You cant be married and be physically away from each other. You will have to avoid prolonged separations. It implies that even if due to education, work, and other constraints, you have to be physically away from each other, you need to make efforts to be together from time to time. This will help you spend more time together, build companionship, and promote intimacy in your marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

WORKING ON TIME SPENT TOGETHER: MINIMISE THE DISTANCE!
Marriage was not made to be practiced on a distance mode. Ideally, couples should spend as much time together as possible. However, circumstances sometimes lead to the presence of distance between husbands and wives. In such instances, it is helpful to work on minimising the distance and its impact on the marriage. That will involve making a conscious effort to reduce physical distance, emotional distance, social distance, and lack of intimacy. Ultimately, it will help build companionship and intimacy in your marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

FAILURE ISN'T FINAL!
Someone has said that a setback in life should function as a setup for a comeback. That is to say failure does not end it all. It is not the death of hope, but the beginning of something new. Dennis Waitley puts it that "Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." Once you say something, do something, or become something, you might meet failure. All who desire success must be prepared to accept failure as a setback along the way to success; but it can be a setup for a mighty comeback. Just remember, FAILURE ISN'T FINAL! — Dr. Josiah B. Andor

WHAT DO PEOPLE GAIN?
The question in Ecclesiastes 1:3 appears to be the main focus of the entire book. Here, he asks what people gain from all their labours under the sun. After opening with the declaration, “Meaningless! Meaningless!… Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 1:2, NIV), the “preacher” goes on to pose the question “What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?” (verse 3). This question seems to be so important that we all ask it all the time. It is a question whose answer determines the effort we put into everything we do.

In Ecclesiastes, the “preacher” attempts to find an answer in wealth, wisdom, wine, work, women, infrastructure, etc. Unfortunately, it appears none of them offered a satisfactory answer to the question. Even after acquiring everything and trying to find meaning, the question still remains, what do people gain from all their labours? Nothing offers a satisfactory answer because nothing under the sun is of any eternal value - everything is meaningless. – Josiah B. Andor, PhD.

PRIORITISING QUALITY TIME: TAKE WALKS TOGETHER!
One way to prioritise quality time in your marriage is to make a conscious effort to take regular morning and/or evening walks together. Morning or evening walks constitute healthy lifestyle practices. Adopting it would help improve your health; but doing it together with your spouse helps increase the amount of time you spend together and ensures that you have quality time. It is important to plan it such that you can spare some time to talk about yourselves and your marriage. With such health walks, you can have quality time and enjoy a happy marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

PRIORITISING QUALITY TIME: BUILD ON SHARED INTERESTS!
Everyone has interests. When your interests and those of your spouse are the same, you are likely to connect more intimately; and that offers you the opportunity to spend more quality time together. Your interests usually determine what you do, where you go, and how well you enjoy life. When you share common interests you tend to do things together, go places together, and enjoy life together. For this reason, it will be helpful to make a conscious effort to build interest in the things your spouse is interested in, so that you can pursue them together. Once you share interests together, you will spend more quality time together and subsequently enjoy a happy marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

PRIORITISING QUALITY TIME: BUILD ON SHARED HOBBIES!
Apart from regular date nights, couples can ensure they have quality time if they have shared hobbies. Once a husband and a wife have the same hobbies, they are likely to enjoy them together; and this affords them the opportunity to spend more time together. You may not share in the hobbies of your spouse, but it is helpful to make a conscious effort to develop interest in them, learn to build on them, and spend time together on them. By so doing, you can have some quality time together and ultimately have a happy marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

PRIORITISING QUALITY TIME: REGULAR DATE NIGHTS!
One of the ways to ensure you have quality time in your marriage is to consider going for date nights regularly with your spouse. Depending on your budget, you may consider going on a date with your spouse weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or biennially. This will offer you the opportunity to spend time with your spouse and discuss pertinent issues about your lives and your marriage. It helps you build a bond and gives you the needed time to spend together. Ultimately, the quality time that your regular date nights will offer can lead to a happy marriage. - Dr. Josiah B. Andor

Working on companionship and time spent together with your spouse is very important in promoting marital happiness.
