I did not read all of the responses, only this post.
I wanted to move to AZ bedore we got married. Her family ties were too strong.
Now, she would be ok moving there, pending work for her.
Personally, if you have no ties here, can pick up elsewhere for the same income / lifestyle, I would go for it. Just make sure you are ok leaving behind all of your close friends and family.
