If I am remembering my Sunday school classes correctly, you are not supposed to receive the Sacraments while in an active state of sin. Since the Church does not recognize marriages performed outside the Church as actual marriages, they would consider any two people living as man and wife but not married in the Church living in sin. To correct this, the couple should be married in the Church to correct the "active sin" before the non-confirmed partner can receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
