What to expect?
01. Food!
BYOM (Bring Your Own Meal) or pre-order a pizza online from The Riley Tavern and we will pick it up and have it ready for you when you arrive. Refreshments provided.
Each session begins with couples eating together at their own private table for two. This gives couples a chance to unwind and connect before the session’s episode. It also helps to create the atmosphere of a date.
02. Watch the episode.
Each episode is around 45 minutes in length and explores a different topic through real experiences, expert insights, and relevant teaching.
03. Talk privately.
Following the episode there will be no group discussion. Instead, couples will be provided a time for personal application and discussion at their own table. Background music will help to provide a layer of privacy for those conversations.
