I agree it doesn't address a BS feelings well at all, but that simple theory of the Love Bank is such a simple one that almost any man can understand what he needs to do in order to have his wife fall for him again if he's willing to choose the long hard road of R. By far R is harder than D once you've been betrayed but I do believe if your WS is not a serial by nature, you can have a shot at having a better marriage than you had if both people want it, and are willing to work for it.
