Why do traditional wedding vows include "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part"?

If there's exceptions, shouldn't they be mentioned aside from "till death"?

I think it should not have to be included. Its an unspoken rule. There was a time where if you cheated, you were killed.

Divorce was originated to save the x spouses life.
