Why the religious people keep making the oath "until death put apart" is that a joke for some Christians?

In other words, if you say “until death,” you should mean “until death.”

1 Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

Deuteronomy 23:21 If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.

Luke 16:18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

    (Matthew 5:32) . . ., except on account of sexual immorality, . . .

    you did not quote the whole scripture. Jesus said, that adultery breaks the vow of marriage. In other places it says "if a man does not support his wife and children he refuses to work, is grounds for divorce." Your just reading the words you want to read. If a man beats his wife is another grounds for divorce. REad the whole bible.

    By reciting the rosary each day with care, one can battle divorce and other sins, and can better know the true meanings of Bible verses.

    It's: "until death do [subjunctive] us part" -- i.e. until death separates us.

    Which part of that don't you understand?
