John Carmack brought along a workstation on his honeymoon so that he could keep coding. I can't find the exact quote, but I recall him saying that he spent so many years coding every day that he was worried he might suffer from withdrawl if he had a week away.
I think the lesson here is that some people put their craft at the center of their life and make it the focus of every single day.
From the perspective of someone with the opposite problem to burnout - having been stuck on where to get started for literally months - this is a really inspirational anecdote.
I definitely want to hear more about how the marriage situation worked out in this case though. I expect I could learn a lot.
