I thought marriage was a sacrament, spouse didn’t. I didn’t know spouse didn’t see it as sacrament, and true Catholics were hard to find to help sort it out, from a Catholic upbringing, I was lost in a pagan society that scorned Catholics. Went likety split back to the Latin Mass.

I made darn sure my husband understood that once we said I do in front of God, he was stuck with me. Even after death. ;)

'What happens when even implicit faith is absent from a marriage? When this is lacking, of course, even if the marriage has been celebrated “libere et recte," it could be invalid. This leads us to maintain that, in addition to the classical criteria for declaring the invalidity of marriage, there must be further reflection on the case in which the spouses exclude the sacramental nature of marriage. Currently we are in a phase of study, of serene but tenacious reflection on this point.'
