Traveling to the US and Married to an American

Q: I am an UK citizen married to an American and we are currently living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I have a Thai visa and work permit. I am going to be spending a lot of time in the USA trying to get our business off the ground there. At most I'll be staying one month at the time and then return to Asia. However, I will be visiting the US regularly over the course of the next year or so and ultimately might even relocate.

Can I visit on and off the US using a tourist visa or are there any restrictions? Anything else I should do/not do?
