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.

I definitely want to hear more about how the marriage situation worked out in this case though. I expect I could learn a lot.
