Marriage doesn't work on cold, contractual logic. It involves social cues, emotional reasoning and abstract purity. Put it simply, if you don't act as if you're marriage it legit, then the courts won't pretend it is either and could get you, and your house, into very deep legal trouble. Remember, while it is not religious, marriage is still meant to be about love and coupling. This idea of being a true commitment is a big part of honor, face and legality. 

TL/DR: you can assume your vows have a standard, monogamous commitment ideal in it no matter what. No court would actualize a contract that wasn't so.
