Because he's dead, and because he never really wanted to get married and settle down anyway. Charles (played by Christopher Eccleston) died in the war (World War 2), and so his soul is sort of in limbo; he is bound to the battlefield, so he can't spend the rest of eternity with his family. He can only visit them from time to time.

But even if he could stay with them, he doesn't want to. He never really wanted to be a family man. All of this is revealed in the dialogue between Charles and Grace (Nicole Kidman's character), except it isn't explicitly stated. The two characters just kind of hint at it and allude to it, so you have to pay really close attention to what they're saying.
