Socken unterm Sofa

In many partnerships, disorder is a major point of contention. When couples confront this issue and delve into the underlying conflicts, they not only tidy up their apartment or house but also address potential problems in their relationship.

Using concrete case studies from their joint practice, experienced decluttering coaches Johanna Lemke and Sabrina Rox – known as Hempels Schwestern – analyze typical problem areas and provide practical solutions: How can we as a couple create order while simultaneously doing something for our relationship? Thus, the authors convey more than just practical tidying tips: they also illuminate the emotional level and invite couples to engage with their own relationship and enable concrete development.

Creating order is always an external and at the same time an internal process. While we organize our living space, we also reorganize our souls. Through decluttering, we come into contact with topics that we had literally filed away.

Decluttering literally shifts the perspective: on the home, on oneself, on life. And so, in the end, our couples tidy up – but not just in their living space, also in their relationship.
