Does your visa say 01 or Single on the number of entries? (the page that is in your passport) If so, then no, you're not supposed to leave. However, you can go to the immigration office and get a re-entry visa (80-90 chf? depends on the canton), which will allow you to re-enter.
If you're going to be gone for some period of time, it might be worth putting together an official letter (in German) saying that your spouse can pick up your registered mail, since that is how your permit would be delivered. It stays at the post office for one week and is then sent back if you don't pick it up.
