I think he can hear you, Ray.
I think McQuarrie said the original talk when he was re-writing 'Ghost Protocol' was to kill Ethan's wife off, but they didn't think something as drastic as that was needed. Instead I think the series makes it clear that he can't be a family man. Though if they ever get to the final film of the bunch, I'm sure they'll have a cameo and get together.

Ethan "The Living Manifestation Of Destiny" Hunt

That speech is brilliant in a meta way. The whole thing is about Cruise and about how he has a supernatural ability to win the day because he's the protagonist.
