. . . sacramentality cannot attend the union of two persons, even two baptized persons, who do not intend, or who cease to experience, a mutual love that in faith makes God and Christ present.

Once upon a time in the Catholic Church, it was next to impossible to get a legitimate divorce. Now, it's next to impossible to get a legitimate marriage.

Good grief. Intention is important, and is the basis of any contract, but as often as not, intent is devilishly hard to prove in any court. In an age where couples are pretty much free to marry, it would seem that the burden should be in proving it NOT a marriage, provided they observe the forms.
