If two coupled processes approach each other in L2 and one family of marginals is uniformly tight, then their expectations of any bounded continuous test function approach each other. On a large compact set use uniform continuity; outside it use boundedness; control excessive coupling separation by the second-moment Markov bound. A constant expectation for one process then identifies the other limit. No global derivative or Lipschitz bound is necessary.
