A marriage of a man and a woman where one spouse is heterosexual and one spouse is homosexual. Often the homosexual marries the heterosexual in an attempt to "cure" their sexual attraction to the same sex. Religion, family expectations, and a desire to have children often influence a homosexual person's decision to wed a person of the opposite sex. I use the term "homosexual" and not LGB because many same-sex attracted people that marry a person of the opposite sex do not self-identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Many also prefer to stay in the closet. Many, but not all, of these marriages end in severe marital conflict, separation, or divorce.
