With This Divorce Insurance, I Thee Wed!

Can marriage insurance cure society’s ills? Divorce is an epidemic that can destabilize families, cut off financial support to dependent spouses and children, and often seem like the “easy way out” for couples who shirk the time and effort a marriage requires to work things out.
The aptly named WedLock is a new form of casualty insurance that has an engaging offer for newlyweds for after the honeymoon is over. For around $16 per month for every $1,250 worth of coverage, couples can build a just-in-case, exit agreement into their marriage.
The longer the marriage lasts the more value the policy accumulates.  After 10 years, a departing couple who has accumulated 10 units and paid in $19,188 would receive a payout of about $27,500.  That’s almost  enough to cover a divorce lawyer’s fees. To avoid a financial incentive to get divorced at the drop of a hat, policyholders must ante up for at least four years before the policy will pay out.
There is a healthier alternative, of course. Learn how to find happiness in your own marriage by taking The High Road…in Life, Love and Divorce, a new anti Divorce book comes with a Social Marriage v. Divorce Facebook app you can try on like a shoe to find a better fit.
But if  it takes building an insurance policy together to build a happy marriage, so be it. Whatever works!
