Who wouldn’t dream of having a personal harem? Jermaine Rockmore, a 41-year-old former firefighter, has been living with three wives for many years, and they are all more than happy with the arrangement.He has three wives: Angelica, Maria, and Leann. Together, they have nine children, whom they consider a shared responsibility and care for collectively.So how did one man convince three women to live under one roof? The answer is simple: they are all madly in love with him.

He met his first wife, Angelica, in college. They married six months later, and three months after that, they welcomed their daughter. Five years after their wedding, he brought a new woman home. Her name was Leann. Angelica cried, broke some dishes, but eventually decided to let things unfold. Leann became a permanent member of their family. Gradually, the women even became friends. Thirteen years later, their family grew again with the arrival of Maria.

The family has nine children: the eldest is already 25 and has his own family. The youngest is just two years old.When talking about his wives and children, Jermaine smiles: “They’re like a football team or an army.”

Regarding intimacy, Jermaine sleeps in a separate room, and his lovely “wives” visit him one by one. They have a schedule hanging on the wall that dictates their visits.When they’re not juggling their personal lives, they spend time together—going to the movies, shopping, vacationing, and visiting numerous relatives and friends.When asked how he ended up in a polygamous relationship, Jermaine says:”I realized at a young age that monogamy is for the weak.”

His wives agree. They eventually saw the advantages. Household chores are divided three ways, the kids are always supervised, and if anyone gets sick, there’s always a friend available to make soup and check their temperature. In short, this marriage has its perks.

These individuals have been living this way for many years and are happy. Sure, it goes against societal norms, but who cares if they truly love each other?
