TLDR : Answer Summary
The duration a holder of a one-year multi-entry marriage visa can stay outside Thailand at one time depends on the validity period stated on the visa. If utilizing an Extension of Stay based on marriage with a re-entry permit, this must also be used before the visa's valid until date, or a new visa will be necessary.

Bootsabong Suwanacom. When you get the one extension stamp, get a re-entry permit at the same time. Will save you time later

Does your current permission to stay stamp show a ONE YEAR ending DATE from when your extension was last granted?
Robert *******
Until the date mentioned on the Visa as valid until or enter before. After that date the visa is not valid anymore and a new visa is needed.

If the person use an Extension of Stay based on marriage with a re-entry permit, you have to use this before the valid until date, otherwise a new visa is needed.

I do not know if there is a website who is going to explain that a person does not have to be inside Thailand if a person purchased a visa.

See it like buying a box of milk, you can buy it but nobody force you to drink it.

thank you, so just so I can understand clearly does this mean one could stay out of Thailand for close to or the entire length of the one year visa?
