A big lesson from MG's experience is the role that friends play in our lives – for good and for ill. In The Garden of Wisdom, Rabbi Arush tells parents and others to butt out of a couple's marriage problems. This story is an excellent example of why! Rabbi Arush also tells couples to seek out proper guidance – I think that would preclude friends (especially friends who themselves have failed marriages).
Ironically, had the agunah read The Garden of Wisdom and taken it to heart, she would not have given such "help". Perhaps now, when the agunah sees how successful MG's marriage has become, she'll reconsider her own situation and apply The Garden of Wisdom in her marriage.
