Do you base where you will be living solely on where you can receive the
highest salery?  Would you accept a job in an area where your wife could
not find a job in her chosen field?  I hope you answered 'no'. I think it
is a dangerous thing to ask a partner to sacrifice too much, even if they
are willing at the time. Love is about finding a way for both of you to have
a fulfilling life.
