represents the life long commitment two people make to each other, a commitment to look after each other both emotionally and financially. It is because of this commitment that it is so important to consider life insurance , which can help your partner cope financially in the future should the worst happen. In the event of suffering a critical illness, permanent disability or passing away, life insurance can allow you or your partner continue with the ambitions you may have had together such as buying a house, or travelling, whilst also avoiding the financial burden that debts can have on an individual.
