There's a married couple in my family that similarly, lived apart a lot (career reasons). They're still going strong, and have been together as long as yours.
It's not for everyone, but I find their untraditional qualities to be inspiring.

I love they set that bar in their relationship. It’s been inspirational to marriages like mine where my husband is oversees half the year. Embracing my independence and his as a basic human necessity makes me love my partner even more
