Though the couple struggled, they feel closer than ever. “Let’s just say she’s a good match for me,” Adam tells Megyn Kelly.

This Woman’s Husband Developed Amnesia And Forgot Her: ‘Do You Know Who I Am?' | Megyn Kelly TODAY
I would almost die inside if I was in her case. Wow!!
I love how he holds her hands. They are a great couple. I pray the marriage last.
Anna-Kay Green she probably did but she loved him and had faith enough to not let him walk they will survive this he may not remember details but he knows her again and loves her
His wife really took their marriage vows seriously. And the way he looks and holds her hand shows that he is really grateful that his wife didn't leave her. That she continues to love him despite the fact that he completely forgot everything.
no days wives dont do that . wish we all took thing more seriously
As we ALL should! God bless us all!
Most women don't, pretty pathetic
She has a great sense of humor. Lovely couple.
wish they would have gone into how and when he actually regained his memory, and what his experience was when regaining it. Seems like an incomplete news report.
Me too. I have a lot of questions!
Zane Ehnes agreed
I have all the answers
Zane Ehnes exactly
He didn't. That's the whole point. Didn't you hear them joking about how he is bitter about not remembering Disney Land?
They need to write a book, omg I would definitely read this. The way he looks at his lovely wife, is the way I look at Jamaican food, so in love. Lol
Wonderfully Made She luv im like cook food?😂 #Jamaican #JamaicanSaying #JamaicanCulture
They are working on it
That's funny! 😀
😂😂😂
Diedrie Gibbs you are awesome. And you are so right!
I cried instantly when I had heard what the wife had to say to her husband. That's what real love truly is.
It happened to my son in 2016 at age 45. He got to hospital and was pronounce dead. They had kept him on life support for his family to arrive. Plus they were hoping for him to be donated. Well he survived but he has forgotten most of his life, but remembers about and hour before his life changed forever.. He forgot he had a family. For some reason he remembered his father and me. It has been a long road for him. But he is making a new life and new memories. His wife and him are still together and are happy.
I LOVE that Adam gave the glory to God in his last comment. It's important to share your testimony and especially when given a huge platform like this after such a beautiful miracle. God bless their family!
My husband and I are going through that now. He lost 3yrs..the sane amount of time that we have been married. I am so happy that you guys pulled through.
Eva Lee prayers to you and your family ♥️🙏🏽 i hope you guys pull through!
@@mistywhite277 thank you. It has been a challenge.
I am so sorry. I had a TBI which left me with epilepsy and some memory loss. It was quite frustrating knowing I have memory limitations. It will get better, even if he doesn’t regain lost memories, the acceptance of the deficit gets easier. Hugs and prayers to you.
I'm so sorry about that! How are you doing?
When she said “my heart dropped” at the beginning, mine did as well 💔 praiseGod that he is alright and they are together and in love (((:
He's lucky she didn't leave. Good woman!
I am glad she did not listen to him saying they should divorce and that she stood firm that tells me they will overcome this they already have because they are happy and not depressed about what he does not have but thankful for what they do have
I love this woman’s love. I had a TBI which left me with epilepsy and some memory loss. He is a blessed man with an angel of a wife. ❤️
Same here...TBI with seizures...following bad wreck...I was originally working on my PhD in neuropsychology..after a long recovery became a nurse 🤔 so grateful my wife stood with me...i think this is such a sweet story...i am fortunately back to work as an RN, now helping patients with brain injuries...these stories make me smile so much...good luck with your recovery...
This was such a good story. Love how she didn't give up on him and how they can joke about a serious situation.
Its obvious she's committed to him and he's in love! Praise God they looked to Him!
Just went through and read all the comments. Was really blessed to see all the people who love the Lord and rely on Him!
I love how he looks at her... nothing but love
I love his comment at the end. Let’s not forget God 💜💜💜
It got me teared up
Paige Snivi uhm yea what? Who u talking about? Sorry forgot about him for a second...
Right some people don’t believe in him
God made him forget.
@Amanda Charlebois Remember he moves in mysterious ways, like a serial killer, but don't worry serial killers "love" their victims. But in all honesty God totally made this happen but it's part of his sadistic plan.
@@shamusbob7969 God did not make him forget bad things happen to us because the devil exists
The way Adam looks his wife... Priceless!
Omg! I love this couple!💞 they remind me of me and my husband. We have gone through some serious crap in the 15 years that we have been together (well nothing as bad as the Gonzales family) but we never left each other's side. When we said our vows 11 years in front of our lord Jesus Christ, we truly meant them and take marriage extremely serious. That's how it should be. Yes it's very hard at times, but our love for each other is very unbreakable. God bless this wonderful couple and their family 🙏✝️.
Jennifer Gonzalez - That's great, but don't kid yourself... there's no such thing as unconditional love except, if you're lucky, from your mother. He can pick up and leave or cheat at any time... you think you know a person until you don't. All I'm saying is don't invest your happiness in another person, you gotta be complete on your own. Don't think it'll never happen to you because statistically, there's a 1 in 2 chance that it will.
Ms. Jackalope .j. Johnstone - who broke your heart?😂😂😂😂
Leslie Nicole - hah 😂
No but really, you can't trust anyone.
Wow that is a beautiful history of love, you make my day, I hope one day my son found a real great human been like this Lady Raquel, and I love what he said, if you have a difficult time, just pray, God is always with us. Thank you nice show.
What a nice man ! His wife a strong women ! I am happy for both of you !
I can totally relate. I don’t remember who my husband is.
That is one good looking man. I love the way that he looks at his wife with such love. She is blessed.
I love that they have faith In God and that he made sure that he said that prayer was the key Amen!!!❤!
Powergirl 76 or maybe....I don’t know...his brain healing naturally was key....?
Jen Tuesday Without Fairh it is impossible to please God!❤!That's the promblem with America today forgetting about GOD.So sad.
If you say so honey. *Smh* Interesting how you say that "forgetting about God" is the problem with America today...….very funny considering the majority, if not all, of the countries with a better quality of life than here in the states are also less religious than us as well.
Jen Tuesday "Honey"I am only speaking about home!They took prayer out of school and kids went crazy.It's fine if you don't believe in God that's you.I was only agreed with the husband and wife because it is true..God is real abd it is sad to me that you don't believe in him.Also the other countries want to come here!!!Smh
Powergirl 76 Only poor countries want to go to USA. Sweden, Germany, UK don't as we have free healthcare and Education. As well as religious freedom to believe in God or not.
This reminds me of that movie where the wife got into an accident and didn’t know who her husband was, so he had to regain their trust
or 50 First Dates
Random Harvest is the old version
The vow. Based on a True story
The Vow with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams
It's called the vow
“When you don’t know what to do, you pray.” 👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Carolyn Is A Virgo he’s wrong...
you dig around in your fridge and find out your sister ate the last slice of pizza so then you eat the last bucket of ice cream 😂
Amen
These two are precious. And I love that he used this platform to bring glory to God. Blessings to their family!!!💓😊🎉
"In sickness and in health" wow..
I've lost about 90% of my memory & have ongoing memory loss daily from a muscle disorder. I can't remember most of my daughters life & she's 31. I feel bad about that most of all.
So sorry to hear that. I hope you soon find a cure to reverse this. Best wishes and may our creator be with you.
There are those times when you don’t know what to do.. and you just pray , and I do ❤️🥰💕love love love that
Wow, what a great couple! Love that he gave God the credit for getting them through this time!
Wow! I love this couple! So inspiring and they're so funny and seem so in love! I love how they give the glory to God! Thanks for sharing your story! So touching!
Raquel & her husband said"you just HAVE TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD"💟
Thank u Meghan for having truthful people on your show, Nancy🇺🇸 NYS
Through sickness and in health...yes..what a great couple. Love their wedding card too. A tandem bicycle!
I love them together 🙏🏽 so amazing this story ❤
What a sweet couple. I pray everything works out for them.
God bless you and family. God will honor you because you honor him. Much blessings.
The way he looks at her.. Many blessings and she is a amazing woman. God is great!!
Thank God for bringing you through.
Yes Amen!! God and prayers along with being faithful and committed to each other is what got and is getting them through!! God NEVER will let us down if we just trust Him.
uh, okaaaay….
Wow so happy to hear they are still together and they have faith in God🙏❤️
The way he looks at her😍
An amazing woman who stood by her oath. I love how he made mention of having faith in God because he’s right.
No judge would have signed off on a divorce anyway. With the condition Adam was in, he was no more capable under the law of getting a divorce than he would have to get married.
I'm guessing these two have read the comments on this video. There are some very mean/hurtful comments and I feel really bad that the wife has maybe read them.
A beautiful story but this is quite normal being faithful to one's spouse in our culture ,we got millions like her .
Way to point to the Lord! Love this so much.
Wow, you are both an inspiration to me and many others I'm sure! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm two years late to this post so I pray you are both well!
My husband has TBI. Although he doesn't totally loses memory he forgets a lot of things and then later he remembers them it just all depends but he's never totally so I can imagine with these people cuz I have trouble doing day 2 day. Sometimes I wonder if he does use it when he says he forgot but I believe in now he says he forgot he forgot praise the Lord and he still alive and praise the Lord for these people
This happened to my husband, but it made him violent. He was the perfect husband for 8 years, but the last 4 years nearly killed me, literally. I had to leave because my husband and best friend was gone forever.
So sorry about that 😢
Wow
I have a T.B.I. Honestly, while I haven't forgotten my family amd friends, many memories are lost. Even things I said or did last night can easily be lost. I think I didn't water my plants which Garden Therapy is great for the mind and body. Or if I freak because I think I missed something. Thank God for my beautiful Son, my Husband who studies every aspect of brain trauma and knows my routine, keeps me there so I feel less stress, as well as my family. Many groups for T.B.I's and support.
Ow god bless you both. True love at its best.
Inspirational 😍🥰😥😢♥️💞
I LOVE his last statements! Yes have faith in God and turn to Him especially when times are hard and you don’t really know what’s going to happen. God WILL make a way when and where it seems there is none, He WILL that IS a promise! Praise be to God for getting them through the hardest times of those moments! What a great couple, may God continue to bless them!!
YES PRAYER IS THE KEY
Look how he is looking at her🥰
My uncle had brain surgery many years ago and he's really forgetful sometimes. And I always used to mess with him about it, it was our running joke because I would make a joke about whatever it was and he would tell me well I had brain surgery lol. And then coincidentally I was diagnosed with a brain tumor 6 years ago and I also had brain surgery and now I'm just as forgetful as he is. And now he teases me lol. It's a short term memory problem and it's strange because I can remember everything in my childhood but I will forget something from 5 minutes ago. And it's always the most random things. And we all laugh about it because what else can you do? We're a hot mess! My uncle is not biologically related to me, he married my dad's sister many years ago so it really was coincidental that we happened to both have the same type of tumor 10 years apart. And we live in different states so I don't believe that it was necessarialy an environmental cause. It's just one of the most common types of tumors that adults can have in the brain.
Oh, and my best friend makes me give her my wallet and keys whenever we go anywhere because I ALWAYS lose them 😂
Sarah Choi Good for you! Surround yourself with people who encourage you and vice versa
Laughter- the best medicine!! (isn't that something from Readers' Digest?) My mother has recently been diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. She tries to laugh a lot. Yesterday morning I picked her up to go to church and then our home for the rest of the day. Before the service started she went to the bathroom. On coming back to her seat she saw me, brightened up and said 'Hi darling, did I say good morning and give you a hug yet?' I was startled for a second (it's hard getting used to it) and she must have noticed and said 'Oops, I have, haven't I?' Then, tongue in cheek she started to laugh...…. I said ' Yes Mum, I picked you up' So we had a laugh. She knows that's the best way to cope. Take her pill, laugh and trust the Lord for the road ahead! The wonderful thing is, though, that spiritually, as a Christian, (i.e. her love for the Lord, knowledge of her Bible, speakers and sermons etc) she's fine and loves to tell the 'Old folks' (her words!) around her about Jesus. Still a missionary at heart! So yes, I'll stop now and wish you both many years of fun ahead and that laughter may lighten the load!
@Sarah Choi there is a difference between friends joking and her mocking your injury she was mocking you i think
@@mumstheword8851 I am so thankful that you still have your mama mind body and spirit
I absolutely LOVE his cute Texan drawl!!!
Love their style on the show
My husband had a heart attack. He recovered physically with limits, but could not go back to work. The next year he began to have moments of events where he was just staring into space not responding. After a few months, he had lost ALL memory completely, retrograde and anterograde. Now, 8 years later. He's THE SAME. He has NO memory of any of his past life.
Hello God Bless you. What a nice couple. What the both of you went through . Wow. I wish you the best. Barb from Staten Island. Amazing.
Sorry, don't want to be mean but, I just have to say that I am so so glad that she is no longer on T.V.! I think she is a terrible host! She hardly lets people talk especially when she just asked them a question, she just cuts them off like she's heard enough and doesn't care about what people have to say! Especially when she was asking the doctor some questions, you can tell that he had more to say but she just cuts him off and left him with a look of confusion. Poor guy. Anyway don't really like her. She needs to take lessons and learn to be a better host!
True love. What a sweet story. ❤️
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!
Wow that a message. And a miracle. 👍
So he had “sudden amnesia” tried to get divorced but she refused and now the mother in law lives with them?! Tough break kiddo!
What a wonderful couple. Definitely a great love story. It would make a great book and movie deal. It certainly gives you a different perspective on living. I hope you two are still love birds. Janice
God bless them
You better make sure to plug our Heavenly Father!!! I love it ❤️ ❤️ and because of that and HIM you and you family made IT and will continue to make it through anything! As long as you have faith and give it to God! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
Man of god... beautiful union
Why does he have to be chewing gum during the interview?😂
Jen Vincur Bc his mouth smelt like garlic
Vanara Pan 🤣😂🤦🏿♀️
He forgot to spit it out
Maybe he was nervous
THIS IS SOOOOO SAD AND SWEET, HOPE HES DOING BETTER, PRAYER😘😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!
Adam I'm so scarred to talk about it .... But I can trust you I was in a accident in 2010 and paralyzed from the waist down , I told that doctor I make my own destiny . 2019 I'm walking and singing but I've been thru this please get in touch with me I was scared before but now I'm ready to talk because I'm not the only one who's been through this please find me please I need to talk to you I need a friend I can trust.
I feel like I’ve grown too cynical. Idk. I am so confused to this entire story. This doesn’t give a lot of details except, I walked in one day and he looked dazed and I asked “Do u know where u are and who I am”.
This needs to be a movie
You dont watch much movies huh
Watch the vow its basically the same thing
I wish someone would
this man is a genius
Bogdan Calcan lol how so?
I get it lmao
lol they think he just faked it all
Reminds me of the movie the vow! They need a movie of their own.
I love the guests on the show, but this Megan is cringy, every single show is difficult to watch her interactions. Who ever brings the guests are on key, they just need a new host.
Lyndsay Bodkins yeah she isn’t believable at all!
Agreed Lyndsay....also it seems like incomplete interviews. Basic, obvious questions aren’t even broached, at times the questions that are asked she manages to interrupt them before they are done speaking. On that note I get time is limited but it comes off as rude. I thought maybe it was me but I’ve seen others, like your comment, on other videos stating the same thing. The people who are invited on have amazing stories and they grab my attention, I want to know more but the interviews tend to fall flat. I’m kind of half hoping it’s poor editing for YT uploads, but...never mind, who am I kidding it’s not lol
Yes, she's terrible to watch, she's rude, she's insensitive and I hate fake dyed blonde hair, it makes her look trashy and an insult to us natural blondes.
IT TURNED OUT THAT HE JUST WANTED TO LEAVE HIS WIFE BUT DIDNT KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT !
He fell in love with her twice and I can't even find someone to fall in love with me once 👁👄👁
Awesome! They gave the glory to the Lord. thats wonderful! Remember to seek the Lord even when you're going through a great time :) Amen!!
Amen!!
Awesome couple.
Staged or real? Too good to be true. We need a reality show right here.
WILBERT ALMODOVAR just wait
WILBERT ALMODOVAR it happens. God is great. No power stronger than the power of Faith.
they should make a movie on this
Play on play’a! Jk ...TBI are serious business. They can affect you years down the road. Working as a Psych Nurse for years, I recall the question- “Has your loved one ever suffered from a serious brain injury in the past”? In fact, it was probably the first question asked with every initial family visit after their loved one was in our care for a few days. Pertinent information.
Same n aftr she forget me she stopped loving me n left me!! 😢 cuz she was a really rude persn n not interested in love frm begining but while she was in amnesia she was a really gud n caring persn
Laughter- the best medicine!! (isn't that something from Readers' Digest?) My mother has been diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. She tries to laugh a lot. Yesterday morning I picked her up to go to church and then our home for the rest of the day. Before the service started she went to the bathroom.

Still a missionary at heart!
They didn't touch on when his memory of her came back or if it ever did, and if he just fell in love with her again. Very vague.
They need to write a book!
What a lucky, lucky man.
I've seen a few clips from this show and find it odd how the host and guests don't face the audience. Does anyone know why that is? Also, the interviews often don't follow chronologically, so there are missing pieces. Like in this case, whose kids are those? They just appeared.
The power of Christ is unbelievable.
Yes, God only can do something like this so powerful!
A woman who admits she had let herself go, so refreshing to hear! As wives, we should always make ourselves look attractive for our husband but unfortunately, some women get too comfortable in their marriage and use children and being tired as an excuse to not make themselves look attractive to their husband. They no longer make want to make an effort to look nice for her husband. NOW, I know that this isn't all women who get married but for those who do maybe you can take note because I say this out of love. I used to do life coaching for many years and one of the complaints from my male clients was how their wife no longer dresses up for them and denies them of intimacy because they're too tired or busy to make an effort any more. Yes, I'm aware that men let themselves go too after marriage but it's more common with women in my opinion. I'm a Christian woman and wife to an amazing husband and I couldn't imagine presenting myself to him in baggy sweatpants and a ripped up oversized tee. That's not how he met me.
So sad what if he didn't want to stay married or love her hope it gets better for them such a cute couple God bless them both
Beautiful Testimony!!
Adorable couple!
So many people will cime out of the woodwork in a sad attempt to bring happier people down. This woman is much too smart to think twice of the trash that negetive people say. Those are the true vessels of the enimy. Much too obvious that what they have is more powerful than evil.
What a lovely man
I had TBI from a head injury but not that serious.
Now THIS couple will Stay together, unlike that other couple they made the movie "The Vow" on... And the man that sadly didn't connect to his wife enough after her amnesia and rehabilitation, because after 25 years he cheated on her and they have split now.
