Fan that Flame
The lyrics of the song Fan the Flame by The Temptations begins "Once a wise man said to me. This advice I give you free. A woman is made up of fantasy so fan the flame. Always keep her hopes up high. Make her laugh, don’t make her cry and don’t let her love die, so fan the flame"

No matter how wonderful you think your relationship with your spouse is, there will be times that "fanning the flame" will be needed to reenergize the most important commitment you can make in your life. In order to assist you to keep the "fires burning" for both spouses, TWOgether Pittsburgh offers two modules designed to build and sustain the viability and satisfaction of your marriage relationship.
  • Marriage Enrichment I – Designed for married couples, this module will be offered in a format of weekend educational workshops, as well as six weekly sessions lasting two hours each. The workshops will focus on relationship building, budget and financial management, communication skills, conflict resolution, marriage expectations and roles, and extended family relationships. The workshop will utilize an extensive couple inventory to identify areas in need of special focus.

  • Marriage Mentoring – Sometimes couples are best aided in relationship. This module is set up to allow a couple who are newly married or have identified an area of need in their relationship to work with another couple who have been married longer to help them to apply "learnings" in real life situations. Mentee couples will be matched with a more mature mentor couple who will meet regularly for six months to talk about various marriage related issues.
