Sie sind gerade zwei Monate verheiratet. Dann verliert Krickitt bei einem schweren Unfall ihr Gedächtnis. "Wer ist Ihr Mann?", fragt der Therapeut einige Wochen später. "Ich bin nicht verheiratet!", antwortet sie. Ihr Mann, Kim, kann es nicht fassen. Er versucht alles, um ihre Erinnerungen zurückzubringen. Doch bald merkt er: Sie sind verloren. Genau wie ihre Gefühle für ihn. Das Einzige, was er tun kann, ist ganz neu um ihr Herz zu kämpfen. Er will sein Versprechen halten. Die wahre Geschichte hinter dem gleichnamigen Film ist viel dramatischer und ehrlicher. Eigentlich müsste Krickitt tot sein. Die Ärzte gaben ihr weniger als ein halbes Prozent Überlebenschance und waren sicher, dass sie bleibende Gehirnschäden davontragen würde. Doch nichts davon ist eingetroffen. Heute sind die beiden wieder glücklich verheiratet und haben zwei Kinder. Kim und Krickitt schildern, was ihnen geholfen hat, an ihrer Liebe festzuhalten.

La vida que Kim y Krickitt Carpenter tenían juntos se deshizo al punto de lo irreconocible el 24 de noviembre de 1993. Dos meses después de su boda, un catastrófico accidente de automóvil dejó a Krickitt con una lesión masiva en la cabeza y en coma por semanas. Cuando ella finalmente recuperó el conocimiento, no tenía idea de quién era Kim, su esposo. No podía recordar su relación y sufría de los trastornos de la personalidad característicos de quienes experimentan lesiones en la cabeza. Así fue que Kim reconoció que la mujer con quien se había casado esencialmente murió en el accidente. Sin embargo, aunque todo les jugaba en contra, la fe que ambos tenían en Cristo los sostuvo, de modo que Kim y Krickitt volvieron a enamorarse. Aunque Kim apoyó a Krickitt durante toda la travesía más oscura que un esposo jamás podría imaginar, afirma “No soy ningún héroe. Hice un voto de amor.” Votos de Amores la verdadera historia que inspiró la destacada película del mismo título y protagonizada por Rachel McAdams (El diario de Noa), Channing Tatum (Querido John), Sam Neill (Parque Jurásico) y Jessica Lange, ganadora del premio de la Academia Cinematográfica.

Op 24 November 1993 het die lewe vir Kim en Krickitt Carpenter vir altyd verander. Twee maande ná hul troudag het ’n verskriklike ongeluk Krickitt met ’n ernstige kopbesering vir weke in ’n koma gelaat. Wanneer sy wakker word uit die koma, het Krickitt geen herinnering van hul verhouding nie, en Kim besef dat die vrou met wie hy getrou het eintlik in daardie ongeluk gesterf het. En tog, teen alle verwagting in en deur die gedeelde geloof in Christus wat hulle dra, kies Krickitt om haar man weer ten volle lief te hê. Selfs al het Kim deur die donkerste tye by sy vrou gestaan, bly hy nederig: “Ek is nie ’n held nie. Ek het ’n belofte gemaak en hou daarby.” DIE BELOFTE is die ware verhaal wat die fliek THE VOW geïnspireer het. Die boek bevat pragtige foto’s van dié inspirerende paartjie vóór en ná die ongeluk.

I knew I shouldn''t have done it. Last month, after I schemed to get my best friend together with her boyfriend, I ended up cuddled on the couch with his brother-platonically, if platonic cuddling is even a thing. (I can attest that it''s not. Well, at least it doesn''t feel like it.) Not only that, but I agreed to keep doing it and to keep it a secret from everyone. At the time, I had no doubts it was a mistake. He and his girlfriend had broken up only days before, and I''d wanted him for a long time. But I did it anyway. Now here we are five weeks later. My head is on his lap, his fingers are sliding through my hair, and it''s all I can do to keep myself from pulling his lips down to mine. I don''t, because I know he doesn''t want that. How do I know? He told me so when we started this. Plus, if he changed his mind, he''d let me know. The man is not one to hold back. But then again, neither am I. I''m known for speaking my mind, but in this case I''m not. I''m scared that if I try to take this to another level, he''ll shoot me down. And then where will we be? My best friend is probably going to marry his brother. And we work together. It''s an impossible situation. I need to end this, but I can''t make myself do it. Somebody help me! So Much More is a Throwback RomCom set in the late 1980s. It reads like a contemporary romance with all the tropes, low-spice closed-door chemistry, and banter, but the relationship evolves without the use of cell phones or the Internet. Dating was a whole different game in the 80s!
