Threatening one's wife by saying "Go to your Father's house"

Q: In the state of anger and while fighting with my wife, I said "go to your father's house and dont show me your face ever". Though we were arguing and in the state of threat that Ill leave her etc etc, But didnt say divorce or anything. I had no intention to leave her. Let me know if it affects my nikkah? 

A: If you had no intention of divorce while saying these words then it does not affect the nikaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
