Why Some Wives Object to Life Insurance; But Widows Never Do

So, let's be real. Life insurance isn't exactly a fun topic, is it? Especially for couples. You know how it goes: one person's thinking "responsible planning," and the other's thinking, "Do we really need to spend money on that?" It's a common thing, and often, it's the wives who are hesitant.

Think about it. We're busy, life's moving fast, and nobody wants to picture the worst. Plus, those premiums? They can feel like a squeeze, especially when things are going smoothly. But here's the thing: those "what ifs" don't disappear just because we ignore them.


Why do Wives hesitate?

• It feels like an unnecessary expense - Yeah, I get it. When you're juggling rent, groceries, and maybe a kid or two, adding another expense feels like a punch in the gut. But imagine, just for a second, if the main income suddenly disappeared. Those bills? They don't magically vanish.

• Talking about death is uncomfortable - It's like tempting fate, right? But honestly, avoiding the conversation doesn't change reality. It's more like being prepared, like having an umbrella when it looks like rain.

• The partner handles the finances - It's easy to tune out when you're not the one dealing with the numbers. But what if you suddenly had to? Would you even know where to start?

• Over-confident in Savings and income - We're doing fine! We have savings. That's awesome! But have you really thought about everything? Funerals, those unexpected costs, keeping the kids in school... it adds up faster than you think.


The Flip Side: Why Widows never object

Now, here's the part that hits home. Talk to anyone who's lost a spouse, and they'll tell you: life insurance? It's a lifeline.

I remember when I first started in this field, I met a family who had just lost their mother. They were overwhelmed, but because she had a well-planned life insurance policy, they were able to grieve without the added stress of financial ruin. That's when I truly understood the power of what I do.

• It provides Immediate financial relief - Funerals are expensive, and bills don't stop. Life insurance helps you breathe when you feel like you're suffocating.

• It ensures long-term sustainability - It's not just about paying bills. It's about keeping a roof over your head, keeping the kids in their routine, and not having to rely on everyone else.

• Prevents financial dependence - No one wants to be a charity case. Life insurance gives you the freedom to stand on your own two feet.

"If only we'd done this sooner." That's the regret no one wants.


How Do We Fix This? Let's Talk It Out 

So, how do we get from "no way" to "okay, I get it"?

1. Honest conversations. No judgment, just real talk. Share your fears, ask questions, and learn together.

2. Show the numbers. Don't just say "it's important." Show how it works, how it fits into your budget, and what it covers. Many people don't realize that life insurance can be tailored to fit specific needs and budgets. We can explore options like term life, whole life, or even policies that build cash value.

3. Make it about love. Life insurance isn't about death. It's about taking care of the people you love, no matter what.

4. Decide together. This isn't a solo decision. It's a team effort.

That's why I'm so passionate about helping families understand life insurance. It's not just a policy; it's peace of mind. My goal is to help you find a policy that provides the coverage you need without breaking the bank. There are so many options available, and I can help you navigate them.


The Bottom Line 

Look, nobody wants to think about the worst. But being prepared? That's just smart. It's about giving yourself and your family a safety net, so you can focus on living, not just surviving. Don't wait until it's too late. Trust me, future you will thank you.

If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all, you're not alone. I've helped families navigate these decisions, and I'd be happy to do the same for you. We can schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your specific needs and find a policy that fits your budget. You can reach me at 0716512917. Let's work together to secure your family's future. I know this can be a sensitive topic, and I'm here to provide guidance and support every step of the way. My priority is to help you make an informed decision that's right for your family.

Am insured in Heaven

It is quite rational to think that one’s life is insured in heaven, but life insurance on the earth has quite a different function – It’s not being negative or wishing for something bad to happen but preparing for the unforeseen circumstances that can take place in the world. As with other aspects in life (purchases such as a home, a car or education) there is preparation through buying life insurance to ensure that people who rely on us are not left financially vulnerable in case of any tragedy befalling us. Taking life insurance is a way towards ensuring that our loved ones are taken care of at our expense. It’s love and an act of courtesy. It is not about preference for death but keeping an eye on the financial burden if anything happens. It's like an umbrella, it can't stop the rain but will shield you from getting soaked. Insurance doesn't prevent life's unnecessities but will provide protection when it happens. It offers a peace of mind, you don't know when a ...

Relying on your workplace Insurance?

Insurance offered by your employer, for instance, group life or health schemes, come with an employee’s contract. Usually, the coverage is available while working in the position, but if you quit, are fired or get laid off, the coverage ends. This becomes a huge risk if for instance, you are earning a living from your job and you get diagnosed with a life threatening disease such as cancer.   Here’s how it affects you:   1. Loss of Coverage: Once you are jobless, the group life policy ceases and you are without insurance protection at the time when you may need it most.   2. Difficulty Getting New Insurance: If you are diagnosed with a critical illness, it becomes difficult, or you may be denied individual life or health insurance or have to pay an arm and a leg for it.   3. Financial Strain: Without insurance, all costs that are incurred in treating you or paying for bills, go directly to your pocket which is always unfavorable for you. ...

Biblical first Insurance Policy

Noah's Ark The story of Noah and the Ark can be viewed as a symbolic representation of the very essence of life insurance: concerns against the unknown in life. God told Noah to construct an ark to rescue himself, his wife and family and every pair of animal from a flood that would destroy all the world’s life. Though Noah did not know when the flood would occur or how it was going to happen, he built the ark. In this context the ark is the first ‘insurance policy’ Here’s how the story aligns with the principles of life insurance: 1. Preparedness for the Unknown Just as Noah had to construct the ark for a flood no one could imagine, life insurance is preparation for something no one can anticipate. No one can predict when something bad will happen – it could be an injury, sickness, or even a death, however, life insurance enables us prepare for these unfortunate circumstances as much as is possible. 2. Protection against catastrophic events  It may be recalled that the ark was buil...
