This is the point of MWD, she just tells people to do it and the spouse will start to fall into place.. as long as the LBS does NOT listen to the negatives coming from the WS and keeps focus the LBS will eventually catch on and start to participate gradually
THe risks are
a. This won't work if the spouse has gotten themselves addicted to something to escape their problems b. This takes a long time c. The WS can be a HUGE dead weight on the process if the LBS can't shield themsleves from teh abuse
