Legal & General Urge Couples to Think About the Future this Valentine's Day

You might not think it... but life insurance really says "I love you".

2011-02-09

SURREY, ENGLAND, February 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) As February 14th fast approaches, love is most certainly in the air, and today Legal & General are proposing an all-together unusual, but nonetheless heartfelt gift for your loved one; life insurance.

We all know love isn't a bunch of flowers. Love is a promise: "I'll always care for you. I'll always look after you."

But could you keep that promise if you or your partner became critically ill, or if one of you were to die?

To truly look after each other, you need to secure your future, together or apart. That's why perhaps the best gift you can give each other this Valentine's Day is life insurance.

Protecting your futures shows you care. It shows you're in for the long haul. And it gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your loved ones will always be protected.

Did you know...

- Loving gestures beat expensive gifts. Giving a hug and a compliment or even telling a joke is more likely to make your partner feel great, according to recent research . Life insurance shows how much you care, and it might just make their Valentine's Day.

- The average person spends over GBP90 on Valentine's Day for their partner . Legal & General life insurance quotes start from GBP6 per month. So that GBP90 would cover some people's life insurance costs for a whole year - with a little left over.

Talk it over with your partner - would it make sense to replace the roses and chocolates this year with a gift that's much more valuable to you both?
