2nd the good luck to you and your new wife!!

The only advice I have is based on my situation. I am gone now 8-15 days a month, (non flying job for the next 15 months) My wife (also a pilot which helps) has enough going on between her job and working on ber Masters, that we just enjoy the time we have together, and don't dwell on the time we are apart.

Some folks have issues with being apart because of a lack of companionship, lack of trust (is he/she behaving ) if he /she loved me they would give up that profession. etc. can be based on some level of insecurity I suspect. Independence in a relationship is as important as respect and togetherness. But above all, is effective communication. You must be willing to discuss this (which it sounds like you are.)
Without knowing where her concern is based, it is difficult to be more specific.
Kristie’s article is very good on covering some of the concerns.
