“Find the right person, fall in love, set your hopes on them—that’s Hollywood’s path to finding a love.” 

That describes the radio broadcast where Chip Ingram, president of Walk Thru the Bible, tells Dennis Rainey how God’s prescription for love differs from that of Hollywood’s.

The following is a quote from the radio broadcast, God’s Prescription for a Lasting Relationship, with Dennis Rainey, Chip Ingram, and Bob Lepine, that originated from the ministry of Family Life Today. Here’s what Chip Ingram says:

“Hollywood, basically is saying that the whole key, if you listen — and by Hollywood, I don’t mean the actual place. I mean this culture that’s grown up, whether it’s music, whether it’s video games, whether it’s prime time TV, it’s all about, number one, finding the right person. It’s built in our DNA that the whole thing about love is there’s somebody out there, you’ve got to go find them.

And then fall in love. It will be a dramatic, spine-tingling, oh, this look in your eyes, this feeling will come over you, and then set your hopes and dreams upon them, and this person is going to come through and make your life.

So, step 1, find the right person; step 2, fall in love; step 3, fix your hopes and dreams on them; and then they do have a step 4. When that doesn’t work go back to step 1, and you have the wrong person so find someone else.

And so we have cultivated and developed this idea that if you’re not fulfilled, if it’s not ooey-gooey, if things aren’t going you way, if you don’t feel accepted, affirmed, then you must be with the wrong person, so find the right person.”
