Maybe you can have the pastor run counter measures.
He does. He's pro-marriage. He can't be blatantly on my side or her side, as we're both part of his parrish. AND, I've asked him not to say things like, "H loves you, he really wants things to work, etc." He says things like, "I haven't heard from H since our last meeting." She said, "That's not like H." Pastor says, "Nope, he's a different guy." W says, "yeah..."
He's captured the vision to some extent and is actually pretty helpful. I'm not worried about him. Expecting him to be an aggressive positive influence wouldn't help any more than the neighbor being an aggressive negative influence.
Anyway...
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
