    Good point.  But what about wedding vows?

    Sounds to me from what you wrote that it is more the breaking of a vow
    we are to avoid than the taking of a vow.

    Marriage is a covenant.  To some it is also a sacrament.  In a Quaker
    wedding the partners typically make their promises to each other without
    clergy conducting the ceremony.  This is what Sharon and I did.
    
    Neither of us swore to an oath.

    Amen!  If your word is good, there is no need to swear.
