But you made no distinction between what he calls simple (purely intellectual) error and an intention of the will.
Let's say I want to get a certain kind of dog. You buy the dog and then find out that it sheds. I didn't know this breed of dog shed. You generally know about "dogs", though not about all the properties of dogs. This did not undermine or in any way "inform" your intention / will to get a dog, even if "had you known" you may not have gotten said dog. At the time, your ignorance was in your intellect only and had no effect on your intention to get a dog.
This seems to be the kind of ignorance he's talking about, a purely intellectual ignorance that did not factor positively into your decision to get married at the time.
Now, let's say that you intended to get a dog that does not shed, and your choice of a dog was informed at least in part by your intention to get a non-shedding dog. Then you get the dog, only to find out that it does in fact shed. Here ignorance (or lack of knowledge) was involved in the original act of the will.
