Stephan Bauer

After 20 years of marriage, everyone asks themselves "Is that it? How much longer will it last? What happened to my dreams when my spouse has nothing more to say to me - except "take your pills." The secret to a happy marriage is obviously a secret. Which is why it's called "hei-guessing" and not "hei-knowing".

Would complete openness be a concept for more happiness in marriage? But who can honestly ask their partner after 20 years: "Are you as bored as I am?" A wise man prefers to say to his wife: Nothing.

So what do you do when couples therapists don't have any appointments available? Buy a ticket for Stephan Bauer! Marriage counseling helps, yoga helps, but shouting "shit" in a good mood at a comedy evening is cheaper. After 30 years of marital steel baths, he knows that everyone wants to tack their partner to the wall. The important thing is that you take it off again afterwards. So let's just look at the misery with humor. "Yes, my partner has a wheel off, but look how nicely it rolls."

Stephan Bauer's new program looks into the abysses of modern relationships, but also shows how we can rebuild bridges that have been torn down. Two hours of marital fun to make us all feel better. A microphone, a bar stool, punchlines one after the other, laughter without pause for breath. And the best part: the ticket is included in the therapy session.
