Well, the Halachah there is that while a woman may object to her husband
taking a job that would result in the diminution of her Onah, there's
an explicit exception for a Tayal becoming a Talmid Hacham, so one
could argue that a would be prophet has a similar dispensation.  On the
other hand, see Pis'hei Teshuvah (75:2 - 3).
