In this episode 198, we visit with Lori Epting, author of From Chaos to Connection: A Marriage Counselor’s Candid Guide for the Modern Couple. Lori is an experienced marriage counselor who has guided thousands of couples through the myriad of challenges and obstacles in a marriage.

Using blunt, honest lessons and real-life anecdotes, From Chaos to Connection is a path for disconnected couples to navigate the ups and downs of life and find true happiness in their marriage.

Gary Chapman, author of the New York Times bestselling book, The 5 Love Languages had this to say about the book: ““Whatever the present state of your marriage, it can always be better: more supportive, connected, loving, and caring. Reading From Chaos to Connection is like sitting down with a seasoned counselor who under- stands the dynamics of building a healthy marriage. The book stimulates the ‘Yes, we can make things better’ attitude. It is a hope-filled book for all who want a growing marriage.”

Praise for From Chaos to Connection

“From Chaos to Connection is a straightforward, down to earth book willing to challenge your ideas of marriage.  Lori’s personal writing style, as she courageously weaves her own personal and marital story into her writing, makes for an engaging read.  She invites couples to reconsider common relationship dilemmas as opportunities for a deeper, more compassionate view of their relationship.”

Marcus R. Earle, Ph.D., LMFT, CSAT, S-PSB, Clinical Director of Psychological Counseling Services, Ltd

“From Chaos to Connection will take you on a rare journey into both the heart and mind of a thoughtful and skilled couples therapist. Lori Epting not only takes us into her therapy practice, but into her own marriage with both vulnerability and humor. The lessons about love and relationships are relevant, well-founded, and brilliantly woven throughout the book.”

Marni Feuerman, MSW, PsyD, psychotherapist, and author of Ghosted and Breadcrumbed: Stop Falling for Unavailable Men and Get Smart about Healthy Relationships 

“This book is a wonderful resource, one that I wish I had at my disposal BEFORE my first marriage ended. The author entwines details from her personal life with her training as a marriage therapist, making her advice both helpful and relatable. I think her “What’s the Real Problem—A Cheat Sheet” was invaluable, and can be applied to any marriage. This is a “must-read” for parents trying to navigate the stressors of both marriage and parenthood. Highly recommend!”

Tara Egan, D.Ed., Child therapist, author of Adolescence: A Parent’s Guide
