I will use this opportunity to practice my validation responses. I will be up beat and positive.
And by that you mean you will use you ears at least twice as much as your mouth, regardless of what is being said to you, right!?
Take the time to really understand your wife, it doesn't mean you have to like what you hear. Help her appreciate you understand by mirroring (repeating back in your own words what you've heard her say and keeping your body language open). A person who feels understood, feels worthy. Your need for being understood has to take a back seat, better still be left at home. A hard thing to do, but so worth it.
Enjoy the trip mutatio.
