I take a week-long tour plus a 3-day tour just about every year. My wife doesn't ride but doesn't seem to begrudge my trips because I keep the costs low. Also, she often takes trips with friends or educational workshops that I don't attend, so it all evens out. We always take at least one trip together every year as well. I think it's healthy for couples to take trips or do other activities that don't involve their spouses. It gets tiresome doing everything as a couple, but I've been married for 27 years so we're long past the lovebird stage.
