Life insurance is usually thought of as something for the spouse who is the breadwinner. If that person dies, then the life insurance benefit would help provide for the family. The mortgage may still get paid; the kids may still go to college. Life coverage is no less important for the spouse who stays at home, works part time, or is a secondary breadwinner. The death benefit, payable if the insured stay at home spouse dies, could help pay for childcare, housekeeping, meals, and other services your family can't do without. Life insurance is also important for the kids. Getting them covered at a young age may help ensure they have the coverage in the future. They can convert the coverage as adults, even if they later develop health problems that would otherwise make them uninsurable. With family life insurance whatever the future brings, your loved ones' financial security may be protected.

An entity which provides insurance is known as an insurer, insurance company, or insurance carrier. A person or entity who buys insurance is known as an insured or policyholder. The insurance transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small loss in the form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate the insured in the event of a covered loss. The loss may or may not be financial, but it must be reducible to financial terms, and must involve something in which the insured has an insurable interest established by ownership, possession, or preexisting relationship.
