"I'd be able to provide well for my new family, and my wife would be able to stay home and raise our little girl the way she deserves to be raised. (by "stay home", I mean in Kuwait with me...)"
Which is one of the reasons why they are considering moving there. But whatever you decide Ray, we will be happy for you and your family. Er.., if you say no to that, think about the DC area. 
Basically, the way I read it is by making more money (<--) he would be able to be a better provider by allowing his wife to stay home with the kids. There are other ways of making more money. Second jobs, staggering shifts, working weekends, side jobs, etc.
I know you mean well and I applaud you for your view but I am sure it is not just the money. The experience of living in a different culture (as a working civilian) is something most Americans, won't get a chance to do, and should try if given an opportunity to do so. Now, of course, if he isn't earning a boatload of money to go with, then I would say what the heck are you thinking of? Plus, I think Ray doesn't drink (alcohol), so that part would be a little easier.
