A wife sins if she refuses to move with her husband to another city without a valid excuse, because obedience to the husband is obligatory in what is good and permissible, and she is not allowed to seek divorce for this reason. It is advised that spouses maintain respect, dialogue, and understanding, and that wise people mediate to reconcile and preserve the family.
