Marriage Mentoring is the relationship building component of the TWOgether Pittsburgh project. This module exists to enhance the viability and satisfaction of marriage relationships through couple-to couple mentoring. Couples who have been married seven years or more and have experienced a healthy marriage are paired with couples who are newly married or desire to discuss issues related to one of the transition phases of the marriage relationship.

Couples meet on a regular schedule for six months in a relaxed atmosphere as they develop a friendship and share their marriage experiences.  The curriculum is designed to allow couples a framework for positive conversations  and includes opportunities for dating experiences for both couples. "Celebration of Marriage” events will be scheduled during the fi the program to bring together all mentors and mentees couples to discuss their experiences and learn from each other.


Topics of conversation will include thankfulness, showing appreciation, in-law relationships, recreation, finances, communication, problem solving, balancing roles, children, intimacy, celebrations, and planning for the future. Each session will provide an opportunity for both couples to share their stories and wisdom concerning these vital issues encountered in  all marriages.
