When I was dating my future wife, I told her, "You should know, if you want to get serious, that I have no intention of living here very long." She had a puzzled look on her face, as previous to that, she assumed she would remain there, as her parents lived there. But after introducing the idea of moving some where much nicer, within a few months, she was coming home saying, "We got to get out of here" and pushed for moving harder than I did.
Now that we live in FL, she is appalled at going back to Western PA. Even on visits, she is ancy to get back here after a few days. Not saying it's for everyone, some actually enjoy winter. But after you move to somewhere where you don't ever wear socks or long pants, and the sun shines almost every day, it changes your entire perspective and impacts your mental outlook, making you much more happy every day. People are just more friendly and happy down here. It is a direct effect of the weather. When I go back to PA, I am shocked at how grumpy so much of the people are. Living there, I never noticed. Moving away and coming back, the difference is extreme.
My wife made all new friendships and now can't move away from the friends she made here. The same would happen to your wife, but you might not be able to convince her of it.
A lot of Jag players live in our same town (not in actual J-Ville). Trust me, Beachum would like it just fine living here. We are just south-east of J-ville).
