Personal Opinion: Much as I'm craving living in the country - I'd go city, if you want any quality of life on the weekend then the city is the go. You don't want to spend the whole weekend having to maintain the yard etc. I know moving from inner-city to a house on 1/4 acre didn't help my marriage (yes there were a whole other lot of issues impacting on us) but the time it took us on the weekends to maintain the yard & the house (upstairs and downstairs) cut into our "us" time, we stopped having time to do the things we loved.
