Long told CBN News those lessons are God's plan.
"It (life) is so much sweeter when you have a partner, even if he gets on your nerves, which he will, but take a deep breath," he said. "Love is hard and relationships are hard. God created it this way for a reason -- man, woman, family."
The film, a bit of an emotional roller coaster, is getting good reviews. Audiences find themselves laughing one moment and crying the next.
At the crux of the story is NFL player Lance Sullivan, played by Morris Chestnut.
"When I read the script, it really did tug at the heart strings," Chestnut told CBN News.
His character's motto,"God, family, and football," isn't a huge a stretch for Chestnut.
"I grew up in a family going to the Baptist church," Chestnut said. "I was in church for a long time, so I definitely can draw from my past experiences for that."
Much like the first film, Lance is unshaken by the adversity surrounding him.
Still, the other characters struggle, wondering "Where is God in all of this?" But the answers do come eventually.
"I think that many people struggle with their faith, depending on their circumstances," Lee said. "That is a very real and authentic thing that happens with people."
