What if they did move here with a spouse who does have a job? There are many permutations that are perfectly sensible moves, even if one does not have a hope of getting a job within one's previous field of expertise.
Sounds to me like Life Sucks somtimes. The sooner we realize that the happier we will be. It does not matter how smart you are or what precautions you take, life can screw you over.
