Caleb Breakey says stop trying to ‘fall’ in love and start learning how to fly. He shares how your dating relationship can rise above the ordinary and soar in the pursuit of lasting love. Caleb is a former journalist and author who shares his rocky road to romance in the new book Dating Like Airplanes: Why Just Fall In Love When You Can Fly?
Neil and Caleb unpack the practical steps to building a strong relationship.
- The importance of authenticity
- Caleb’s own marriage and romance, which goes back to his early teen years
- Why marriage is about service
- The definition of “falling in love”
- How to guard the heart of the person we’re dating
- The characteristics of a godly spouse
In the second half of the show, Margaret Kim Peterson and her husband Dwight explain how to prepare your own heart to become Mr. or Mrs. Right rather than spending all of your time looking for them.
Intentionality is the important thing – if you want to get to know someone, go up and talk to them! Too many Christians want to wait on God’s leading for their spouse – Dwight and Margaret believe the important thing is to make sure you’re ready to be a spouse, and find someone who loves God to share your life with. Dwight and Margaret traveled and shared their message at several events and conferences, and their approach has liberated many in the church who want to get married but are afraid of marrying someone “outside of God’s will.”
Caleb and the Petersons have a shared approach – take a deep breath, walk in wisdom, pursue a believer, and go for it!
