Depends on the trip. I traveled six days a week for many years. Different state every day - my wife understood it was a grind. I also worked for a company that had its own plane, try doing multiple states in one day!! She also understood that the last thing I wanted to do when I was home was to go out to dinner or entertain at home. It was the price we were willing to pay to get to our end goal.
When I did have an opportunity for an extended visit and there were social events tied into client business, she came with me and we had fun. Frankly, it allowed her to take some of the burden off of me in interfacing with spouses of my clients or coworkers. It also allowed her to put a face with a name when I was doing the unbearable travel and told her stories when I got home.
Bottom line, I think it depends on your spouse, your relationship with them and what control you have of your business and travel schedule.
