Marriage in the 21st century is not as simple as it used to be. When two single people become one married couple they are also joining their debts, their expenses and often the ties from previous marriages which may include children (read: alimony and child support).

For young couples fresh out of college, there may be student loans with a schedule of hefty payments for years into the future. There may be car loans, rent or mortgages, and credit card balances. Now add to this burden funeral expenses and unpaid medical bills which would be incurred in the event of your death.

While it’s surely not the vision you two have created for your future, it’s a conversation that must be had as you embark on your journey together, and you can find the financial security you are looking for in a good life insurance policy that will protect your beloved in the event of your death. Simply, a life insurance policy can ensure that your spouse will have the means to take care of him or herself, as well as the obligations you leave behind.

The blissful occasion of marriage is certainly cause for celebration, but don’t be blinded by the twinkle in your eye into thinking that your love alone will protect you from the curveballs life is sure to throw you.
