A few reasons to get life insurance if you’re about to tie the knot.
If you’ve found the love of your life, congratulations! Of course, we know that when you say the words “I do” you won’t be thinking about life insurance. But there are plenty of reasons—some obvious, some not—why you should keep life insurance in mind. Here are just a few.
If you have a significant other, life insurance can help you:
|
Provide for your loved one, no matter what.
People generally buy life insurance to make sure their families and other financial dependents—such as aging parents—are provided for, should they pass away. This is very important, since losing you may also mean that your family loses its primary source of income. Life insurance will help ensure that your family’s needs and comforts are met.

|
Keep your surviving spouse out of debt.
Surviving spouses can often be left with a significant financial burden. Life insurance can help alleviate that burden by covering things like funeral costs, outstanding debt, estate taxes and everyday living expenses.

|
Plan your future together.
If you buy a life insurance policy with cash value, you can use the cash value to help finance big-ticket items such as your child’s college education and, someday, retirement.1

Fill in the gaps.
Even if you already have life insurance through work, you may need more to cover your new family. We can work with you to make sure there aren’t any gaps in your current coverage.
