Default Convincing my wife?

I intend on living in TV at some point in my life. My wife and I have been there twice and intend on returning many times before living there.
I love everything about TV.

My parents live there now and both love it. At some point their home will be handed down but hopfully not for a long time.

My wife agrees that it is a wonderful place but is having a hard time seeing us move there, leaving the great state of Texas and her family.
As far as my family goes, I am closest to my father and stepmother and they live in TV so no big deal for me.

All that being said, my question is to those who have had a simular experience with convincing their spouse that all will be fine.
I am 58 and she is 59. we will retire part-time in two years and sell our business so this will not be a move we would make right away but would like to get her moving in the right direction.

So....... what did you do or would you do if you were me.

I think we would live there in the winter first and the move full time later.
We both golf and will certainly play pickleball.
