My husband is 32 years old and he has never lived away from his family. He attended a college that was 30 minutes away from home. We live about 40 minutes away from his family. I have not hang ups about moving. The cost of housing is cheaper in GA compared to where we live now. I am frustrated in trying to convince him that this would be a great move for our family.

How would you feel if your husband wanted to move someplace you didn't, and he started asking people for ideas to convince you? I think, if he doesn't want to move, than he's never going to. You might get him cave and go anyway, and he might even say he wants to, but he won't. He'll just be doing it to make you happy. You should find a place you BOTH are excited about moving to from the start. Forget GA.

Three years ago I convinced my husband to move from Maryland PG county to NC. I was told that the cost of living is lower. Please!! We moved to a rural area and hate it. There aren't any good jobs in a rural area. My husband drives an hour and a half one way to work and now that summer is here beach traffic sucks! So ask yourself if you and your husband can make the same money that you are making in MD in GA. I doubt it. And if you can't, add up all your bills, rent, car, grocery,gas, cable, phone, cell phone, insurance, daycare if you have kids, Internet access, credit cards, the list can go on. you get the picture. and then figure out what you will make in GA and then you will know if you should move. At least in MD your about 20min from everything. Maryland has grown alot and the real estate has boomed there but real estate prices are going up everywhere. It is happening here. Good luck to you.

It seems like he's pretty settled. There may be a way to convince him, I am certain I don't know it. I would point out that "a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."
It may be possible to get the move you want, you just might end up paying for it relationally.

See if he'll go on a short vacation to Georgia. He'll change his mind. It is so wonderful down there. I've visited there 4 times now and I never want to leave. The people are so friendly and the weather is great during the winter. Try it...I bet it will work. But don't try and FORCE him...he'll have to do it willingly.
