Any clarification would be appreciated.

Re: Spouse visa, proving Eligibility Conditions
Don't worry, it won't be a major consideration for the ECO. Few people are going to spend that kind of money if they don't intend to live in the UK afterwards. It would be a fairly pointless exercise. Note it is not mentioned in the Guide to supporting documents: settlement.
If you are not given an opportunity on the application form just include a covering letter explaining your motivations to move back to the UK and your future plans together, i.e. the area you wish to move to, what kind of work you will be going back to or will be looking for, whether you are planning to buy property, have children, etc.. This will also help you to prove "your relationship to your family member is genuine".
