May be your are referring to Lord Vishnu's leela about the Nachiyar Koil . You can read more about the temple and the preciding deities. It is said that the Lord appeared in Venkateshwara form to marry Lakhsmi, but as demanded by Lakshmi the Lord should stay with Her and not the opposite where the bride goes to the husband's house. Probably this question will further answer your doubt.

1Welcome to Hinduism.SE! The question is about Vishnu sleeping in the ocean, the ocean being the father of Lakshmi. The question isn't related to Nachiyar Koil. Commented Sep 6, 2015 at 17:10

@KeshavSrinivasan What are you talking about, Lord Vishnu sleeps on Garbhodaka ocean, from when that great cosmic ocean became the father of Lakshmi?!– PinakinCommented Nov 6, 2015 at 5:14

1@ChinmaySarupria Well, generally that which creates you is your father. Like all the beings that emerged from the body of Brahma are considered his children. Similarly all the beings that emerged from the ocean of milk are considered the ocean god's children. Commented Nov 6, 2015 at 12:38

1@ChinmaySarupria Well, at least according to the Pancharatra texts the form of Vishnu who sleeps in the ocean of milk is called Vyuha Vasudeva, and he is not eternal - he is created and destroyed, in contrast to the eternal form of Vishnu known as Para Vasudeva. So given that both the ocean of milk and Vyuha Vasudeva are periodically created, it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean of milk was created by Brahma. Commented Nov 6, 2015 at 13:00
Vishnu stays his in his place Vaikunthaloka, just as our bhuloka has oceans Vishnuloka has Ksheerasagara. He stays there according to Puranaprakriya. The ocean where Lakshmi was born is situated in earth. This ocean is in Vaikuntha. The question itself is not right.
