Today, with modern technology, there are several ways that you can achieve this. a quick message during the day, a skype call whenever you both are free can go a long way. The reasons why spouses tend to get upset or frustrated when their partner is away is because they feel on some level they are losing an emotional connection with them. This is more pronounced in women as they tend to be more emotional. So send your wife a quick 'i love you' message or let them know that you are thinking about them, even a joke or an anecdote of an interesting thing that happened to you will help calm your wife down.

After she has finished, sit with her calmly and ask her about what about your travels bother her. trust me you will definitely earning brownie points if you do this.
