She's really tired and it's just getting too much for her up to the point where she's nearly crying because she's really worn out. Anyway she's a teacher so the work she had to do was extremely important and couldn't be put to one side and to make it all worse one of the teachers was off ill so she had two loads of lessons to plan with the help of the other one in that year group. She was in tears the other day because she feels as if she's neglecting me and because she's been getting very irritated with me for asking a simple question because she was so stressed, well she has nothing to be guilty of. I want to help her relax more, I know she won't be able to totally relax until this is over but just so she doesn't feel so bad and stressed all the time just to help her relax, maybe some activites to take her mind of it and so we can spend some more intimate time together. Any ideas?

 Because work is on the forefront of her thoughts it needs to be taken care of. Work should be work and home should be home. I understand as a teacher that there is lesson planning and tests that need to be graded. If at all possible help her with that. Let her show you how to grade and etc. Other than that tell her to go to work and request that some of this work load be shread with other teachers. There is nothing wrong with it because the load is stressing her mentally.
From there see what happens. Do what you can to make things easier for her and tell her to set limits. After a certain time of the evening there will be no one work. Human life is much more important than a graded paper. Tell her to toss the stress and do what she can not what other people expect her to.
*Massages work nicely as well as spa time and good rest!
