A couple things:
1) it's not distance so much as time. My current 24 mile commute typically takes me longer than my 45 mile commute did when I was younger. Dense city traffic vs. open, rural highways.
2) My job is about 30 miles away from my wife's job. I have a longer commute so she can have a shorter one. Working closer to home would be nice, but it's not in the cards right now.
