Welcome to the inaugural episode of our podcast. We are an older married couple from the Chicago area, but our relationship is not what you might expect. We are, for lack of a better term, in a mixed-orientation marriage. Our hope is that, through this podcast, we can demystify nontraditional marriages and relationships and expand our listeners’ understanding of committed adult relationships that are often overlooked or misunderstood. We also hope to create a community and a place for people in nontraditional relationships to find support and express themselves. Whether you’re like us — two loving people of different orientations — or gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, or otherwise in a relationship that defies convention, we want you to know that we support you and want to give you a voice. If you are not in a nontraditional relationship but come to this podcast with an open mind, you are more than welcome to join us on our journey.
