i know it needs to be sealed or it will discolor with the grout but my husband wants to spray the sealer on and soak the whole floor and i want to wipe it on with a sponge, then after the grout is in, seal the whole thing again by soaking it with the sprayer (the sealer we bought is for granite, marble, ceramic and grout and comes in a big spray bottle). i'm concerned the grout won't adhere correctly and will chip and pop with time as we walk on it.

Normally the sealer is apply after the grout put in. after is dry and for 2 day. make sure to clean all the marble tile, try to keep the dust to min. And apply the sealer after that. If you apply the sealer before the grout. the sealer will seal all the surface of the marble, and the grout will not adhere correctly.

Sealer is applied after grouting. Check the label on your sealer for exactly when, as this varies from product to product. Before grouting you can apply grout release, which is different from sealer. This will help prevent the grout from staining the flooring. Also, grout and thouroughly clean a small section at a time to minimize the time the grout is in contact with the exposed surface of the flooring.

If your tile is properly installed over a solid surface, there should be no movement in the future that would "pop" your grout loose. Check the sealer instructions for application help. Personally, I would not soak the tile with sealer. Do the sponge application and then grout and seal again.
