A term used in the 1930s, and can still be applied today. It's a term meaning if you are an actor who happens to be gay or lesbian like so many people in the 1930s, the agent of that actor tries to marry them off with a straight person. It is either this or lose everything when the public and fans find out a particular actor is homosexual.
These days it's no big deal to come out of the closet, but there are still gay actors married to a straight spouse for appearance, and reputation. This called a Lavender marriage.
John Travolta is indeed in a Lavender marriage with Kelly Preston.

a women that uses her vagina as lure to fish for men, uses pregnancy to trick the men to marry then uses children and divorce to sustain her living habits and ultimately ruin men's life. In fact, more nasty than a normal hooker.
a normal hooker at least does not ruin the man's life. a marriage hooker completely ruins a man's life forever

Usually, ship's crew members, ofiicers or ratings might be at sea working on various ships something like 80% of their time, sometimes even one year or more at a time, continuously. In case they are married they often call their wife from different ports of call or from the ship herself via satellite telephone, thus having actually a "telephone marriage" instead of a normal marriage.

Television documentaries featuring the always popular format of heartbreaking tales of unthinkable marital infidelity.
My ex-life in which I was married for 25 years to an L.A. actor ended in such a pathetic and superlative train wreck, so consequently it’s a fave on Disaster Marriages!
