He was widowed
There was often a storyline of a serious nature concerning Andy's being a single parent to Opie. (The series never explained the circumstances surrounding Andy's wife, though she is mentioned in two episodes including "A Wife for Andy" and an episode where Aunt Bee is considering marriage to the local dry cleaner. In this episode Andy talks with Opie about different types of love ... including the marriage kind. That is when Opie asks if that is the kind of love Andy had with Opie's mom to which Andy answers in the affirmative.)

never said, I think it was implied that she died when Opie was still a toddler. and that Aunt Bee moved in to help raise him.
I know they said Barney was somehow Andy's cousin(How else would he get the job?)
But since the entire town always called Aunt Bee "Aunt Bee" she may have actually been the wife's aunt and not Andy's aunt.

GREAT question... I've always wondered this too as Aunt Bee was always around..
Maybe Andy was really gay but not out of the closet..haha
