You have topical sealer/wax on your marble instead of penetrating sealer. Solution will depend on what kind of sealer ware used. Alkaline stripper that is specified for stone may do the trick if it is acrylic finish, or acetone if it is silicone base sealer. Most likely marble will have to be honed and repolish for best results. Any of the above operations are not for DIY on the weekend. You need knowledge and experience to work on stone or you will damage it and then pay twice to refinish or replace the floor if the damage is permanent. My suggestion is to contact your local stone restoration pro to look at the problem.
