Love is the answer to all questions? Not quite. She also represents quite a few. Psychologist and couple therapist Oskar Holzberg answers them all. 1018 If things are more important to the partner … 11646070 … then you have a relationship. Anja comes from Bavaria , scrambling is the biggest for her. Her partner Bernd is afraid of heights, he hates the mountains. Eva is an avid skier. Her friend Georg imagines hell: everything is white and freezing cold. Michel is sailing since he can walk, Lea is seasick from the tiniest wave. And the preference for different hobbies and landscapes is still not opposed to how we can separate settings: she collects everything that is soft and cute, he is stylistically a Zen monk.
