A mixed-orientation marriage is a marriage between partners of differing sexual orientations, one person is heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or asexual while the other is of a different orientation. The broader term is mixed-orientation relationship and both terms are often shortened to MOM and MOR respectively.
The people involved in such a marriage may or may not be romantically or sexually compatible, for example if the marriage is between a heterosexual person and a homosexual person. If one of the partner is asexual, the marriage may involve romantic love but not sex.

Famous quotes containing the word marriage:
“A woman asking “Am I good? Am I satisfied?” is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.”
—Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
