I had a similar decision to make about seven years ago. My wife and I had to decide whether to move to my very small hometown for my career or to stay in a larger city where she is from and start my new profession there. She was doubtful about the small town life because of the lack of conveniences and cultural things, etc., and also worried a bit about the school situation and our social life. To get to the point, we sat down and actually made a "pro and con" list about each option. This exercise really helped us communicate our feelings to each other and helped analyze the problem. In the final analysis, the pros outweighed the cons for the move to the small town. We both now agree that it was definitely the right decision, and we are both glad that we made the choice. Even though it was a little scary to make a change (especially for her), changes are what make life better. I suggest that you and your wife discuss the pros and cons carefully, and do what makes sense in that analysis. If the exercise points toward making the move, set aside your natural fear of the unknown and trust your good common sense. Good luck.
