Esposa, mujer can also be a female that is not married to the subject. It is more formal to say esposa assuming they are married. Esposa is more polite. Since mi mujer is a possessive way of say this is my woman...

yes, the vows came from an old Spanish, esposa is a lot more formal and respectful to refer to your wife than mujer.
