PaarBalance is a scientifically validated online program based on 50 years of relationship research and couple therapy practice.
It utilizes the audiovisual possibilities of modern media to provide interactive and humorous coaching for improved relationship quality. The tool is easy to use and demonstrably improves the atmosphere between both partners quickly and noticeably.
Anytime and anywhere there is internet access, you can use PaarBalance in manageable and divisible units - either on your own or in combination with couples counseling (before, after or in parallel).At PaarBalance you've come to the right place if you
- They are newly in a relationship , want to avoid past mistakes and do "everything right" from the start this time.
- have been a couple for a long time and want to bring new energy into their relationship.
- are currently going through a difficult phase with your partner.
With the help of a total of 18 humorous online units, you will become a relationship expert for your partnership in just a few weeks - regardless of your age, gender or the length of your relationship.
The CoupleBalance program has been deliberately tailored to the individual partner, so that you yourself - regardless of where your partner is at - can start immediately.
Do something good for your relationship, no matter when or where – following the motto: "Act instead of react" and "Better to experience something new with your old partner than to repeat the same old things with a new one." 🙂The CoupleBalance program can be helpful at any time:
- If you are currently going through a difficult phase with your partner.
- If you have been a couple for a long time and want to bring new energy into your relationship.
- If you are newly in a relationship , want to avoid past mistakes and "do everything right from the start" this time.
Yes. PaarBalance is especially suitable for couples who cannot (or do not want to) see each other every day.
Because the coaching is tailored to the individual, both partners can work on the "dos & don'ts of happy relationships" from different locations and at different times, at their own pace, and specifically do something for their love.If you have consistently approached the other person over a longer period of time, but your attempts to get closer have remained without any real response, then it means:
Let go! For now, suspend all initiatives for collaboration.
Continue to treat each other in a friendly and respectful manner, but from now on, focus primarily on yourself. This will boost your self-confidence and increase your attractiveness.
- Take more control of your life!
- Show your personality!
- Focus on yourself!
- Do something good for yourself every day!
- Meet up with people you like!
- Build your independence!
- Do things you've always wanted to do!
Love is a child of freedom. Each partner must – of their own free will – continually choose to nurture the relationship and be together. Surely you don't want the other person clinging to the partnership out of pity or a sense of duty.
CoupleBalance usage recommendation:
Watch the coaching videos and complete the accompanying exercises. Examine your strengths and weaknesses as a couple and reflect on the development of your interactions. However, please refrain from doing the homework for now.
Most likely: Yes.
The CoupleBalance program can also be used as a kind of "relationship license." It summarizes the findings from 50 years of relationship research and helps couples become aware of their strengths and areas of risk in their own relationships.
PaarBalance provides scientifically sound know-how about what it takes to avoid driving away love (in the future).
CoupleBalance usage recommendation:
Take your time to watch the coaching videos. Do the accompanying exercises. Examine the strengths and weaknesses of your last relationship and reflect on how your interactions with each other have developed.
However, the homework can only be carried out to a limited extent if there is currently no partner for implementation.

Your partner and the relationship have become an important part of your life story. Therefore, it is almost always worthwhile to give your partnership another real chance if it has temporarily run into crisis.
However, there are situations in which the relationship is no longer beneficial for either party and where separation would be the more sensible course of action. The two most common examples are the following:
Toxic relationship
If your relationship is causing health problems for you or your partner, it could be a so-called ' toxic relationship '.
In cases of emotional or physical abuse in a relationship, or when one partner chronically deceives, exploits, or cheats on the other, it is crucial to seek professional help as soon as possible. Often, separation is the only way to end the destructive dynamic.
Breaking free from a harmful and abusive relationship, one lacking mutual respect, honesty, and goodwill, is usually a difficult process. If the entanglement persists, the harmed partner may never find inner peace or regain their shattered self-esteem.
Developed separately
Another reason to separate rather than cling to the relationship at all costs is that both partners have developed in very different directions over a longer period of time.
If there are no longer any shared interests, values and priorities, and both feel that a "happy journey together" as a couple is no longer possible (since they are both holding each other back in their personal development), it may be the more sensible way to separate and let each other "move on".
If a separation is achieved with respect for the other person and for the shared history, there is a good chance that an unhappy partnership can be transformed into a deep friendship .Of course!
Because the principles taught in the CoupleBalance tool apply to all forms of love relationships and partnerships.
Wherever people come together, it is important to keep the needs of all involved in mind, to communicate openly and respectfully with one another, to focus on the positive aspects of being together, to find good compromises, to forgive each other after misunderstandings or offenses, to support each other and to spend as many beautiful moments together as possible.
However, the illustrations in the 18 coaching videos consistently depict a heterosexual couple. This requires a certain degree of abstract thinking (though this applies to all CoupleBalance users, as our characters were deliberately drawn with minimal lines to avoid distracting from the program content...).Most likely: Yes.
The CoupleBalance program can also be used as a kind of "relationship license." It summarizes the findings from 50 years of relationship research and helps couples become aware of their strengths and areas of risk in their own relationships.

Using the PaarBalance program online at home alongside couples therapy or counseling would be ideal. Numerous studies on "blended counseling" (the combination of in-person and online interventions) clearly support this approach.
When both options – in-person therapy and self-directed online sessions – are used in parallel, this demonstrably has the strongest positive 'power'.
This means that the probability of achieving one's own goals noticeably and sustainably is greatest.It's a common misconception that a relationship can only improve if both partners take action simultaneously. Unfortunately, this very often leads to nothing happening at all. Rather, the truth is:
when you take the initiative, you provide new, positive impetus. We'll show you what you can do to get your partner on board.
Don't let thoughts like, "Why me again? It's their turn now," hold you back.
The CoupleBalance program is tailored to each individual partner. If the other partner wants to participate (from the beginning or at a later point) – all the better! They can start at any time.
Your partner should then create their own CoupleBalance account. If you both wish, you can then discuss all the content and send each other selected summaries.
However, it is not a prerequisite for a successful CoupleBalance process that your partner goes through the individual CoupleBalance sessions at the same time as you (or even starts using the tool themselves).Tell your loved one about PaarBalance and your experiences with it. You can also easily send selected summaries and exercises as an email attachment or print them out.
If you wish, give your partner a glimpse into your program or, for example, a printout of your relationship profile or the ingredients for happiness . Perhaps this will pique their interest, and they might want to start with CoupleBalance themselves. In this way, it can organically develop into coaching for two – even though each person formally retains their own private space.After much consideration, we deliberately developed the CoupleBalance coaching program in such a way that both partners do not need to be equally motivated, start at the same time, or be in the same place to benefit from the sessions for their relationship.
Therefore, the term 'partnership coaching' actually describes the PaarBalance system better than 'couple coaching' - because it makes sense for each partner to create their own PaarBalance account.
- Then he first takes the so-called " relationship test " for himself.
- Each person then receives their individual relationship profile (which usually differs significantly from that of the other person, since everyone has their own personal perception of the strengths and challenges in relationship building -> this alone is often very exciting: comparing the two profiles and discussing the respective assessments...) and
- He goes through the online sessions at his own pace.
But of course, this does not mean that couples who want to do something good for their relationship at the same time cannot watch the (so-called 'psychoeducational') videos together if they are in the same place at the same time and feel like it.
Situation 1: My partner is generally friendly towards me.
Although your partner is currently not motivated to participate in the CoupleBalance program, they fundamentally want to maintain the relationship and desire a harmonious relationship with you?
Don't let anything hold you back, just get started yourself!
It's a common misconception that a relationship can only improve if both partners actively work on it simultaneously. Unfortunately, this very often leads to nothing happening at all. Rather, the truth is: when you take an active role, you provide new, positive momentum. We'll show you what you can do to get your partner on board, too.
You can be sure of this: your partner will (most likely!) come on board.
Situation 2: My partner is consistently dismissive towards me.
Has your partner stopped responding to your suggestions for quite some time now? Is the imbalance in commitment to your relationship growing ever larger?
Then it can be helpful not to invest even more upfront, but to 'stop' for a while and focus on yourself: " My partner is distancing himself despite my efforts. What should I do? "
If your partner is interested in continuing your relationship, they will eventually take the initiative. Until then, remember: you can't make a dog walk.
In this exceptional emotional situation, we would strongly recommend starting with our audio program "Taboo Topic: Affairs" .
There you will find the best possible "first aid" and "step-by-step guidance" in this emotionally charged situation. Background information, predictions about expected developments, checklists, and concrete tips will help you regain control in this relationship meltdown and clarify how to move forward.
Once the initial shock has subsided somewhat, it almost always makes sense to consider the question: Should the growing love and bond be given another real chance – despite the breach of trust and pain?
Our usage recommendations for the PaarBalance program are therefore:
- Watch only the film sequences of the coaching videos at your own pace (to calmly become aware of which positive and problematic patterns may have recently become ingrained in the individual areas of the relationship).
- If you feel like it, do the corresponding exercises. Otherwise, keep referring back to a specific suggestion from "Taboo Topic: Affairs".
For now, completely refrain from doing the homework part.
[Note: To formally and technically conclude a Couple Balance session and move on to the next unit, please select the homework assignment that would have suited you best under other circumstances and then click 'NEXT'.]
The audio program "Taboo Topic Affair" was developed precisely for this worst-case scenario in a relationship .
This (simultaneously scientifically sound and practical) emergency kit was packed by Prof. Dr. Ludwig Schindler and Dr. Judith Gastner with the insights gained from decades of relationship research as well as the experience of countless couple therapies.
You will find proven "first aid", structure, comfort and guidance in this emotionally challenging situation. Background information, predictions about expected developments, checklists and concrete tips will help you regain control and clarify how to proceed.

CoupleBalance Relationship Test:
At the beginning, you describe the current state of your relationship using our scientifically based partnership test.
Relationship Profile:
Immediately afterwards, you receive feedback on your personal resources and challenges in shaping your relationship.
CoupleBalance online sessions:
The core of CoupleBalance is the 18-session coaching program.
Each online session consists of an instructional video, immediately following exercises, and homework assignments to help you implement necessary changes.
You regularly indicate how satisfied you are with yourself, your partner, and your interactions. This allows you to keep track of the impact your commitment has on your well-being.
Messages:
Before and after each CoupleBalance session, you receive an encouraging message to prepare you for what's to come.
Relationship chronicle:
Alongside your sessions, you can record special moments of your shared history in words and pictures in the 'Relationship Chronicle'.
We want you to be able to track at a glance whether and how the climate in your relationship changes while you use the CoupleBalance program – from day to day and from week to week.
Therefore, every time you access PaarBalance (maximum once per day), answer the following three questions in your mood barometer:
How satisfied am I with myself right now?
How satisfied am I with my partner right now?
How satisfied am I with our relationship right now?
The trend curve in your mood barometer allows you to track exactly how your overall satisfaction develops, as well as in the three individual aspects (me, the other, us).The core of PaarBalance consists of a total of 18 coaching sessions.
These individual units are color-coded according to your current personal partnership situation (traffic light colors: red-yellow-green), so that you can immediately see how important the respective topic is for you personally.
A coaching session includes the following components:
- A concise video packed with knowledge on an important relationship topic.
- two exciting exercises for your relationship fitness
- three concrete suggestions for implementation in everyday couple life
Aha moments and fresh good intentions alone are not enough for real and lasting positive change. Concrete actions are needed. Breaking free from unwanted patterns is a process. This process involves:
- Just because something is spoken
doesn't automatically mean it's been heard . - Just because you hear it
doesn't automatically mean you understand it . - Understanding
does not automatically mean internalizing . - Internalizing something
doesn't automatically mean implementing it . - Implementation
does not automatically mean retention .
The couple balance exercises are designed to help you use scientific findings for yourself and your relationship.
The couple balance homework is designed to help you shape your everyday life together in line with your good intentions.Sometimes, individual homework assignments offered as a choice during a couples balance session are not easily implementable. Reasons for this might include:
My partner and I aren't in the same place right now.
Is there anything that might be good for you (or your partner/your relationship) as an alternative to our suggestions, and that can be implemented even across distances? If so, let's get started! 🙂
My partner isn't responding positively to my offers.
Is there anything you know your partner would appreciate? Then take action in that direction! [You might find helpful suggestions in our blog article " The 5 Love Languages "]
My partner is generally distant.
Is your partner's distancing a consistent pattern? Are your efforts generally no longer met with a response? Then the approach described here might be more appropriate at this time: " My partner is distancing himself despite my efforts. What should I do? "
After a deep hurt (affair), it doesn't feel right to me to continue making advance payments.
In this emotionally charged situation, we strongly recommend starting with our audio program "Taboo Topic: Affairs" . There you will find the best possible "first aid" and "step-by-step instructions" to get out of this emotionally charged state.[ Note: To formally and technically conclude a Couple Balance session and continue with the next unit, please select the homework assignment that would have suited you best under other circumstances , and then click 'NEXT'.]
Since the sessions build on each other, it is not advisable (and therefore not possible) to skip individual topics.
However, you can repeat all the units you have completed as often as you like and without a fixed order, refreshing your relationship knowledge again and again.This question has different answers depending on your current situation.
A) I am in a committed relationship. If you are currently in a committed relationship, this wouldn't be suitable. Each session is designed as a self-contained unit consisting of three parts: an informational video, exercises, and homework. For your personal success, it is very important that you proceed systematically, take an active role, and stay engaged between online sessions.
B) I am currently single.
You are not currently in a committed relationship, but would like to understand, in retrospect, what went wrong in a previous relationship? Do you wish to obtain a kind of "relationship license" to be happier in a future partnership and avoid past mistakes? Then it is also helpful to initially focus solely on the coaching videos of the CoupleBalance program.
C) My partner isn't responding to my offers right now
Do you perceive a significant imbalance in commitment to your relationship? Has your partner been ignoring your suggestions for some time now? Then it might be helpful not to invest even more upfront, but to first focus on yourself: " My partner is distancing himself despite my efforts. What should I do? "
D) I was recently deeply hurt (partner's affair).After such a profound hurt, it can feel 'wrong' to continue making the first move. In this emotionally charged situation, we strongly recommend starting with our audio program "Taboo Topic: Affairs ." You can postpone the CoupleBalance 'homework' for a while.
[ Note: To formally and technically conclude a Couple Balance session and continue with the next unit, please select the homework assignment that would have suited you best under other circumstances , and then click 'NEXT'.]
The history of your relationship is a very special treasure to be cherished. Sharing beautiful experiences and overcoming challenges together strengthens your bond and provides reserves of strength for difficult times.
In the "Chronicle" you can compile your personal relationship history – in words and pictures.
It not only records past experiences, but your relationship chronicle can become a partnership diary in which you continuously record positive new experiences and successful ventures.
This is how you create a wonderful logbook of the development of your relationship.The relationship test was developed specifically for PaarBalance according to scientific standards. It covers the following areas:
1. How am I experiencing my relationship right now?
2. How am I currently shaping my partnership?
The questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Immediately afterward, you will receive your personal relationship profile, which reflects your individual strengths but also highlights any challenges you may currently be facing. Based on these results, the individual coaching sessions are color-coded to suit your specific situation (traffic light colors: red, yellow, green).
Yes! The test is essential.
Firstly, before the program starts, he provides you with a comprehensive overview of the resources and challenges in your relationship (status quo assessment/anamnesis). Secondly, we also need this insight into the atmosphere and the way you both interact in order to tailor the CoupleBalance coaching to your individual needs.
Depending on your personal situation, we use traffic light colors to mark the individual topics:
- Red = "Urgent action required!"
- yellow = "There's room for improvement..."
- Green = "One of your strengths / resources 🙂"
10 minutes that are truly worth it!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to repeat the partnership test during the coaching process at this time.
You can get a good overview of the changes over time (How satisfied am I with myself, with my partner, with our partnership?) with the help of the "mood barometer" inside the program.
It has been proven that, on the one hand, there are behaviors and attitudes that are conducive to a happy relationship, and on the other hand, patterns that put one at risk of getting in the way of one's own happiness.
Based on your answers in the PaarBalance partnership test (completion time approx. 10 minutes), we can show you in your personal relationship profile where your individual strengths lie and where it would be important to try new things.
Your personal relationship profile provides you with a sound overview of your resources and areas for improvement as a couple.
You can have your relationship profile created either independently of the CoupleBalance program (click here to go directly to the relationship test ) or as part of the CoupleBalance coaching (right at the beginning as a status quo assessment, before you start with the first session).
The evidence-based PaarBalance online coaching program was developed based on the latest research findings on satisfaction and stability in partnerships.
It includes treatment techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – the couple therapy method with the greatest proven effectiveness.
Providing information via the internet has already proven very effective in self-help programs in other areas such as sleep disorders, depression and anxiety.
The PaarBalance program (intervention area: partnership satisfaction) has also been shown to be highly effective ( see scientific studies in cooperation with the Universities of Bamberg and Bern ).PaarBalance was developed under the scientific direction of Prof. Dr. Ludwig Schindler and Dr. Judith Gastner - together with a dedicated and idealistic multidisciplinary team .
Professor Dr. Ludwig Schindler is a certified psychologist and psychotherapist. He is one of the leading experts in the field of couple therapy in Germany and is the author of several specialist books in this area.
Dr. Judith Gastner is a certified psychologist, psychotherapist, and educator. She worked for 10 years as a research associate at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at the Technical University of Munich (focusing on research, teaching, and patient care) and now works in her own practice as a cognitive behavioral therapist and coach.It is virtually impossible that your relationship will worsen as a result of using the CoupleBalance tool.
The coaching content is consistently constructive and aims to improve your relationship.
Our entire team has made every effort to make PaarBalance appealing, entertaining and humorous.
We appreciate any feedback from PaarBalance users who apparently feel we've succeeded. Here are a few quotes:
- "A valuable, well-prepared aid that was actually really fun and also had many humorous aspects."
- "I chuckled a lot while watching the news."
