The original question was if men made arrangements for their wives or
children upon entrance into the monastic life. This is not quite an
answer to what individuals did, but the Cluniac nunnery of Marcigny was
founded specifically for the wives of men entering Cluny. The same
source says that the Cistercian nunnery of Tart was founded for the same
purpose in the Cistercian order.
