In this heartfelt episode of The Frequency of Love, Celeste and Dave sit down with the incredible Gabe and Grace — a couple whose love story spans decades and feels written in the stars. From a missed school bus and a lightning-bolt first meeting to a 35-year partnership built on devotion, resilience, and deep soul recognition, this conversation is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when love is allowed to unfold naturally.
Episode Summary
Gabe and Grace share the remarkable story of how they first met in high school — a chance encounter sparked by a missed bus that changed the course of their lives. Though Grace initially wanted nothing to do with Gabe, time, fate, and a second meeting years later brought them together in a way that felt effortless and familiar.
As the conversation unfolds, they reflect on the early inner knowing that this connection was different, the challenges they faced from outside resistance, and the deep bond that carried them through decades of partnership. Married for over 30 years and together for more than 35, Gabe and Grace open up about raising three daughters, becoming grandparents, navigating hardship, and building a home rooted in love rather than perfection.
Their story is one of soul recognition, unwavering commitment, and the kind of love that grows stronger through time, trials, and truth.
The Heart of This Episode
Soul recognition is real — when it’s right, it often feels familiar, easy, and deeply known
Commitment is built through challenges, not the absence of them
A strong partnership balances emotional and physical connection
Gratitude for what you’ve built matters — love thrives when it’s acknowledged and celebrated
Don’t judge love by appearances — energy, safety, and connection matter far more than aesthetics
