My wife and I where married in one state but we live in another. If we are to divorce do we need to go back to the state we where married in?

Re: How to Divorce
No. Every state will exercise jurisdiction for purposes of divorce if the parties meet that state's residency requirements. For instance, if one or both parties have been a resident of Oklahoma for 6 months or longer, either party may file for a divorce in Oklahoma.
