I'm a little confused about the vows and oaths. Does one have to say something like, " I promise to...; I vow to..." in order for it to be a vow or oath? If one says he'll do something, but doesn't say that he/she promises or vows or swears, but ends up not doing it, is that breaking a vow? For example, if someone says that he'll be home at or before 7:00, without saying "promise" or anything similar, but comes home at 7:10, is that breaking a vow or oath?
