Does this also applies to ecumenical marriages or marriages between a Catholic and non-Catholic Christians as well? Thank-you for your response.

Catholic marriage, as a sacrament, is only recognized between two baptized Christians. That is, two Catholics, or one Catholic and one baptized from another apostolic Christian church. Marriage between a Catholic and a non-Christian is not valid as the sacrament of matrimony by the church, (although of course it is a legal marriage).
