Is it normal for a wife to choose her father's inputs over her spouse when it comes to making decisions ? If it is not normal, is it time to get out of this relationship ?
It depends, I think there's more to this story than your question alone lets on, OP. I honestly don't have enough information to make any sort of judgment or form an opinion either way. I like to think I would choose the advice and inputs regarding my personal decisions that would be most reasonable and make the most sense regardless of from where said input comes. Wise decision making ought to more about logic than any presumed loyalties or obligations.
There is often wisdom that comes with age. A father's advice is rarely self centered, whereas a spouse's advice is quite often colored by how that advice will affect the relationship.
At any rate, one would think that if it is a good relationship, any decision, no matter where the advice comes from, would be discussed before a decision is made. If not, then there are much more serious problems than who's giving the advice.
This is happening because of their relationship when she was growing up at home. Do you know how close of a relationship they had back then?
