The comment said "spouse" so married.

So we are in agreement that what's in the vows actually matter?

I don’t think everyone sees marriage the same way.

Vows are not morally or legally binding. It’s good if people want to take them seriously but people leave each other for lesser things than decades long depression.

Vows are absolutely morally binding. That's why they are taken. But they are taken together, mutually.

Not everyone does English, christian vows. Most people in the world don't.
