I don't think it's a male/female thing. In my marriage, I was the one 
who wanted a 'relationship' with the land. My ex was a city boy who 
can't stand the country. Taking a city person and transplanting them to 
the country is a risky business. What we see as an invigorating 
challenge, they can see as deprivation. Being out in the country with 
someone who is miserable really sucks the life out of you.

I don't know what kind of homesteading you want to do, and if your wife 
is willing to help. If it involves raising food and animals, that's hard 
to do alone. I'm healthy, but at 52 I just don't have the energy I did 
30 years ago. I have so many plans, but not enough time/money/energy to 
do them. Things fall down faster than I can fix them. I love this life, 
but somedays I feel like I'm not doing it right. I have this dream that 
someday I might get caught up.
