What is a partnership compared to love?
We were a couple for over 20 years, married, and built our practice together. Despite all efforts to live in harmony and intimacy, dark clouds gathered, clouding not only individual days but fundamentally questioning our relationship. Each of us had our own idea of love, partnership, and sexuality – and yet we lost ourselves until we separated.
For us, this separation did not mean an end, but a decisive step on a path that we describe in our “model of a partnership”: the path back to oneself before a mature love becomes possible again. We realized that separation is not the end of the relationship with a person, but the letting go of illusions – and the healing of old wounds.
Our story is a journey through love, separation, and reunion – driven by the search for truth and inner freedom. What connects us is the deep experience that relationship is more than romance or harmony: it is a mirror, a practice field – and sometimes a storm.
We have let go, lost ourselves, and found ourselves again – and in the process, we have learned that BEING is not a goal, but a state beyond roles, concepts, and expectations.
This path – our path – forms the basis of our therapeutic work with couples today. It is both an invitation and a challenge: to wake up, to be truthful, and to rediscover love.
Today, we are more than (couples) therapists: we are people who have gone their way through separation, self-discovery, and new beginnings – and have thus found a love that is more stable and freer than ever before.
After accompanying over 7,000 couples and 16 years of practice, we are grateful for every encounter that has taught us that partnership is change – an open path without ready-made answers, but with many opportunities.
