Just pointing out that the Avnei Nezer YD 454 s"k 27 - 39 disagrees
with this.  He argues: (1) there is a mitzvah to live in E"Y, so one
has no right to question whether he is ra'ui to live there-- b'hadei
kavshei d'rachmana lama lach.  (2) The poskim pasken that a man can
force his wife to make aliyah.  From the fact that wife cannot argue
back that she is not sure whether her mitzvos exceed her aveiros, this
shows that it is not a valid argument.
