Marrying an entrepreneur, how do I deal with the uncertanity, emotions and lack of money?

My boyfriend and I are getting married this summer. He has been really busy for the past year and we dont talk more than 10minutes a day, and maybe an hour on weekends. I find this isnt enough because we are also in a long distance relationship. I cant sleep until I have talked about trivial things like how our day went or what we ate. He is eternally bored by this kind of conversation, and is not part of any of the wedding planning. He dosent care as long as he turns up. We cant postpone the wedding because our parents are keen on doing it now, and wont understand. We also are in a serious cash crunch with me finishing up grad school and him investing in his company. Anyone married to an entrepreneur with any kind of advice? I have lived comfortably so far, and hope to continue that lifestyle. Any advice on how to get him to understand? talking doesnt help.
I’d like to not talk about work in the 10 minutes that I get with him everyday. I do have a career of my own and am trying hard to keep myself busy but I find myself needing reassurance and some attention on a daily basis.
I’m marrying him coz I love him, and I know the reason he is busy is coz he needs to get his product ready to go in a few months. I know how he was before he got this busy, and I am hoping once he achieves what he wants, and we are financially secure, then we can have that great life I know we will if we stay together.

Spiritual PH D’s and Dr’s. – how do you feel when you see someone far more affluent than you …?

without your “profound scholarship”? … Nothing wrong with being a scholar, but if one is going to boast in it, they likewise must wonder if educational level is the primary basis on which one is successful.

Do you feel initials after ones name make them smarter than say a blue collar entrepreneur who makes significantly more in things like mining, farming, automotive, construction or even investing?
