Me and my wife have been married for a while now and we are going to move to Oz where she originates from.
She wants to move to Morley Perth (where her family live) or freo (where she always wanted to live)
I want to move to rottnest island where our friends brad and Shelia live, how can I persuade her or do you think I should go with what she wants?

rottnest island is not a good place to live i live there for 18 months and its fine if you like fishing not much for females and you have to have a job to work there plus it is more expensive to live on the island for food and power Morley is proberly the more practical place more central to everywhere but i love freo

What if Brad and Sheila move away from Rottnest Island. Would you still want to live there?
Same for Morely Perth. If the family moved away, would it still be a nice place for you to live?
This is going to be such a big move, the actual place will be the most important. But on balance, I would think you would get more support from family than friends.
Good luck with the move and I hope you will both be very happy, wherever you fetch up.

Sometimes its hard to decide who's right or wrong, I guess I'd ask you. how well do you get along with her family? How good of friends are Brad and Shelia? Does your wife get along with them? Maybe discuss it more and come to a compromise before you make a big move, because once you move and then find out neither of you can stand it, then you'll end up moving again.

Talk to your wife, explain to her what you would like to move, come to a compromise, don't push or anything, be calm, let her think about it, you never know, you guys are making a new start, it is not easy setting up in another country and starting all over again, both of you should be happy with whatever decisions you both make, it is not an easy step, otherwise you might both regret it, but all i can say it good luck.

Your wife idea of moving nearer to her family could be security or someone to come over during holidays or someone could look after your children(if any) so both of your could spend quality time together. As for moving to Freo, there could be a fairy tale to her reason.Your feel comfortable around your friends and you could visit them during holiday seasons.
Most important is your family that both your wife and you should be thinking of rather than who to see often. What is the real important for both of you, your friends, family members or your own happy lives?
Once you can strengthen to what your own family wants, both of you can decide the right choice.

No not nessasarily i think you should both sit down and find some common ground, Your wife shouldnt be so selfish to assume she will get her own way she hasnt been so close to her family in a while so whats the problem yous can always travel to her families. You should be more important you are her family now.

Compromise seems to be the order of the day here!
She will obviously prefer to be near family ... you might prefer to be away from your mother-in-law!
Talk to her about it ... look at various places ... then get a place in Morley because you know she's right anyway!

You really need to sort this before all your plans are made, you have to reach a compromise that is suitable to both of you. If your marriage is good then I am pretty sure this is really just a minor blip. I would like to wish both you and your wife a long and happy life together in Australia, be happy and good luck xx

Use of 'the' (indefinate article) in the Q says it all - she is a person too ffs!
I think therefore she should move to Freo and you should do her a favour and move in with Brad and Sheila

well this is a very common problem between husband and wife(or male and female), first we start loving eachother and listens to eachother and then at some point we are not agree with each other.you wonder why? the answer is ego.
you think you a man so she should listen to you she thinks she devoted her life to you so you should listen to her.
but if you try to lose your ego and listen to her,and tell her that you will do what she wants only if she thinks that what she is doing is right and that she be happy with it, tell her to think alone for 10 mins, and then what she tells you ,trust me man your wife is always there when you need her and you know where your friends will be when you need them.
