Tell them that you are there to help in whatever way THEY think might help, but you'll wait for THEM to ask.
It's a touchy situation at best, and not one you want to be too terribly involved in. Suggest therapy, time alone. Be cautious not to appear to take sides. Never and I do mean NEVER offer unsolicited advice.

You could start by telling them that you really do care, but that you don't know how you could help them. You have no idea what they are going through emotionally and physically. Since you shouldn't be involved in their family's business, the best you can offer them is to be their friend...... listen to their problems if they want to talk about them, be supportive, and keep what they tell you private, unless they are really in some kind of physical danger. They are going through a tough time...... they'll get through it eventually.... you just be a good friend to them.

The best thing I think you can do for this couple is pray! Prayer changes situations. Only God can restore this marriage. But, the couple has to want God to restore it. Just pray that they will want to make it work. Then, leave the rest to God. He can change their hearts towards one another. I will be praying also.

What are your best friends parents doing involving you in their personal issues?
Where is your best friend in all of this?
