Christian and Kimber marry in Season 6, but the marriage is ill-fated from the start. Kimber is having an affair with Sean, which makes her feel extremely guilty and affects her sex life with Christian. In order to spice things up, Christian tries to strangle her during sex, (at the suggestion of one of his surgery patients) but since she refuses to do it to him, he attempts to strangle himself in the shower and passes out. Kimber discovers him lying on the floor and comes to his aid. He then confesses that Kimber deserves better, and that he will never be able to love her like she wants to be loved. Though Kimber makes a last-ditch effort to save the marriage, Christian has already given up on it, which drives Kimber to drown herself by jumping off a boat.
