In most cases, couple only divorce when they intend to stop living together as husband and wife. But who said you can’t divorce and still stay together under one roof?

Benno Kaiser, 37, and Cristina, 31, from Texas, have been married for 12 years. They are blessed with three children. But there is something special about this couple.

The two have a girlfriend called Sierra Kuntz who stays with them in the same house. The three, Kaiser, Cristina and Kuntz, also allegedly sleep on the same bed.

The relationship among these three bedfellows has grown stronger over time, to the extent that they don’t want any of them to exit the unusual marriage.

To make things even more refreshing, Kaiser and Cristina want to divorce so that one of them can marry Kuntz. The goal is to make Kuntz a permanent member of the family.

“Cristina and I decided this was something that needed to be done in order for Sierra to understand the depth of how much we love her. We want her to be part of our family. We both love her and it's something that's meant to be permanent,” says Kaiser, adding that marrying Kuntz will be beneficial to them on many levels.

The marriage will mean that Kuntz will have legal rights over their three children, Isaiah, 11, Rebecca, 7, and Brianna, 6. This, according to Kaiser, will also prevent Kuntz from getting jealous.

The trio are adamant that their 'permanent' relationship is for keeps, but Benno admits their lifestyle 'isn't for everyone'.

Kaiser and Cristina, both of whom are currently working as legal assistants, reportedly met each other while serving in the military.

They got married about four years later. But Cristina, who is bisexual, felt that something was still missing in her love life.

“It was my idea to open the marriage. I shared the idea with Benno. I told him I would like to introduce women to our relationship to see where it goes. Other than that we had everything going for us. Three kids and a great relationship,” says Cristina.

Kaiser agreed with his wife.

Benno says: "Sierra and Cristina and I all clicked and shortly after our first date we knew that we were meant to be with her and that this was something we wanted to pursue."

So Cristina started searching for the third partner, during which she ran into Kuntz in a shopping mall in Las Vegas. She was working in a pet store.

The two quickly laid bare their feelings and intentions. A few dates later, Kuntz agreed to join Cristina’s family, after which Kaiser was brought into the mix.

“At first I was very hesitant about getting involved with a married couple. I was worried that I would be disposable and that this was a phase they were going through. But when I spent time with them I realised what they wanted. I felt this was a situation I could work with, so I jumped on board,” says Kuntz.

The three have increasingly gotten used to each other and intend to stick together through thick and thin. The kids have also accepted Kuntz as their other mom.
