But, begin with the groom.  He is the key here, and he should never have allowed this to go this far.  He owes his wife loyalty, and his mother respect.  He is failing all around.

I am a mother in law, and was an honored guest in my son's weddings.  If it had been otherwise, I would have said "you won't be bothered with me until you grow up enough to see both points of view"

This mother in law was not wise.  But, neither was she the only one who was wrong.  It was obvious that the bride was establishing her 'power' also.  The letters she sent to her husband's mother in the first show, said exactly that..The darling bride did not give her prospective mother in law the respect she deserved as his mother, either.  If she had, things might have been much different.  And I repeat..the son/groom/boy was not doing his job.  He will probably live to see his mistakes, and heaven help him if he does not give in to the little wifey..hmmm...karma?  Could be. One day, they will have a little one, who will grow into an 'almost' man or woman, and they will understand a lot more about where Jane was coming from, I will warrant.

I would say to all three...Time passes so quickly.  Don't waste it.  You can't get it back, once it is gone.  Your hind-sight being 20/20 will not help then. 

And to Dr. Phil...I think your emphasis on just Jane, or Mostly Jane missed the mark here..just an opinion from an uneducated elder...
