Encourage them to read an appropriate Online Help or resource from those listed in this Mentor Guide and discuss that with you
Let them know they are not alone, stress is common to all marriages
Assure them that stress management is a skill that can be learned
Encourage them to read God’s word about the “Sabbath” rest and to open their heart to God’s wisdom in that area of life
Encourage them that small changes can lead to big results when it comes to stress, but that stressful things will continue to “pile up” if not addressed
Encourage them to set aside some time to make a list of what’s truly important in their life and to include their spouse in that exercise if possible
Encourage them to not lose heart or give up hope… that God can still give them the “abundant life” He desires, but it will take some significant adjustments and could take time
Encourage your mentee to get involved in a local, Bible-believing church for spiritual growth and accountability
