making an alternate version of the story app and having trouble separating the buttons.

Making an alternate version of the story app and having trouble separating the buttons. If I try to do it in the design view my buttons go to far from each other, tried stack overflow but cant figure out how to get them evenly spaced and separated from one another.

my button code is below

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
    android:text="Start Quiz"
    android:id="@+id/button"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="46dp"
    android:textColor="#6F809F"
    android:background="#ffffffff"
    android:clickable="true" />

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
    android:text="Start Queen Mary History"
    android:id="@+id/button2"
    android:layout_above="@+id/button"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button"
    android:layout_alignStart="@+id/button"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:background="#ffffffff"
    android:textColor="#6F809F" />

any help would be great!
