There is a minimum amount of time that you both need to contribute to being together in a marriage. I have forgotten the specifics but lets say its around 12-18 hours per week together.
So while I love the pursuit and distance other marriage experts do feel that a certain amount of time together is a neccesity. I am not really sure or don't remember what MWD says about this but I feel confidant that you need to come to some agreement about how the two of you both choose to love everyday.
