> The oaths made in a typical marriage are impossible

I'm sure you have this reconciled somehow, but it sounds contradictory to me.

Impossible was a poor word choice. I meant like no one could honestly make the promises, because no one can predict how people and situations will change over a life time.

Maybe if the oaths contained an "unless you become an asshole" clause, they'd be more valuable.
