Meaning of seem (grammatical)

Hi all, I read this sentence today: "It always seemed as though they would get married".
And I cannot tell the difference between that sentence ans the sentence below (seems: present tense):
"It always seem as though they will get married"
My questions are:
1. Is the second sentence grammatical.
2. With the first sentence, can we make a exact conclusion that the couple are now separated?
