It’s not like continuity was ever a strength of the Archie comics, anyway.

Actually, this "adult life" continuity is different because up until very recently, Archie Comics never had the characters "grow" into true adults. Note that in the Life with Archie comic, there's actually two different storylines--one where Archie marries Veronica, and one where Archie marries Betty.
