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 sure wouldn't talk her into a move, and burn my bridges. If you can afford it, I think a perfect solution is to compromise and live in TV half the time. Having two houses is expensive, but it may keep your wife happy. And she may grow to love TV, as many people do, and want to become a Frog. However, not everyone loves TV, and I know more than a few couples who moved to TV and then sold their TV residence, and moved "back home". They were lonely for family and wanted to see them more often than just an occasional visit.
