Do you assume that everyone has the same wedding vows?

Most people seem to assume that every married couple vowed to be faithful to their spouse and vowed to stay together until death, through all kinds of conditions, some of which might be horrendous.
Clearly, this is not a promise that half of people who marry can keep. Knowing this, perhaps some people do not promise to be faithful. It seems to me, though, that most people assume it to be the case.
Do you know anyone whose vows did not include faithfulness or until death? Is there anyone with a term limit on the marriage?
Do you have an opinion about the value of a vow that did not include faithfulness or any of the other standard vow material. Why would anyone enter into a marriage contract with anything but the standard provisions?
