Insure Your Love is Here

Happy February! Insure Your Love month kicks off today, a time for the industry to come together to share the important message that getting life insurance is an expression of love that goes beyond words. Life Happens created and coordinates this campaign every February to remind Americans that the basic motivation behind the purchase of life insurance is love.

Our new survey, "For Love and Money," launches today and shows that financial security is one of the most attractive traits to have in a partner. The way American couples look at finances in their relationships is changing. Key findings include:

·      59% of people would feel more secure in their relationship if they discussed getting life insurance with their partner

·      Half of respondents would talk about wills and life insurance before marriage

·      Men are more likely than women to say that purchasing a life insurance policy is a financial way to demonstrate your love (40% vs 33%)

Here are three ways you can participate in Insure Your Love:
