Generally speaking, that is the minhag, that the wife takes on her husband’s practices and not vice versa. I am not Sephardi, but I grew up in a modern home (and school) and learned Sephardi/Modern Hebrew pronunciation. Since getting married, I have changed to traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation, although sometimes I still unwittingly slip back into the Sephardi pronunciation (it can be confusing!) I also have changed my minhag regarding sit/stand for Kiddush and other things. It is something that women need to consider while they are dating. For me, it was nothing too drastic, but cross-cultural shidduchim can lead to conflict if the woman is not prepared to change her minhag.
