    When you get married you follow your husband's Rav and then if you move to another place do you keep his Rav or follow a new Rav in the new place??

    A lot depends on your husband in general. Did you husband learn in more than one yeshiva in his life? How did he handle his relationships with his Rabbeim when he went from one yeshiva to the next (assuming he developed a relationship with anyone, anywhere)? How he handled that will determine how this is handled as well. In general, it is always good to have something of a relationship with the local Rav, even if you maintain your ties, and ask almost all your shailos and get all your hadracha from the "old" Rav because on a practical level you will have things that come up that will require the local Rav.

    I was always under the impression it's better to follow a Rav who your close to..even if you move to E"Y right? So a local Rav would be there for more local types of Sheilos

    I follow my husband's Rav, bec now I married to him. I follow his minhagim as well. IMO, This is all part of respecting your spouse.

    I think you are looking at it the wrong way. If you are close to anyone who provides hadracha (and also paskens halacha for you when necessary - you ask) then no matter how far away, in todays world, you always have access to that person. There is no need to "change", like you would a manicurist (my wife has a friend who drives over an hr for a manicure) when you move to a new town. It is a good idea to introduce yourself and get to know the local Rav as well as there will undoubtedly be times when you will not be able to call your regular Rav or the nature of your question will require a Rav close by.

    I am not a grammarian, but something in your statement makes it sound like you are married to your husband's Rav. I don't know why though.

    IMHO, Didn't change the subject before using a pronoun.

    Punctuation misused and abused :)

    Reminds me of The Anguish Languish.
