Almost any airline, especially majors, with a little seniority. Reserve is usually 12-13 hard days off (15 at SWA).
You have to be more senior to get all weekends off. If you're junior you'll probably get one a month on average.
The spouse does need some degree of independence, but I assume we're all (ex) mil here so that should be nothing new.
When you're home, you're home. Plenty of time with the fam, I'm home on weekdays a lot so I volunteer at my kid's school so I get to hang out with them.
