Episode Transcript
Ron: When it comes to insurance, which beneficiary do you want to be—primary or secondary?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Oh, primary, right? That means you are first in line to get benefits. Evelyn wrote to our ministry concerned about her husband’s life insurance. He had one policy for his kids and another for her and her children, and that felt odd to her. I suggested that he was wise to arrange for money to be passed on to each—and there are a lot of ways to do that.
“And,” I said, “Don’t get caught up in ‘primary’ or ‘secondary’ language. That’s really not a measurement of your value to your husband. The question should be is he taking care of you and the kids? The good news,” I told her, “It sounds like he is.” For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
