Here are some strong advantages to marrying the one you love. You may:
1. Inherit a share of your spouse’s estate.
2. Obtain priority if a conservator needs to be appointed for your spouse — that is, someone to make financial and/or medical decisions on your spouse’s behalf.
3. Receive Social Security, Medicare, and disability benefits for spouses.
4. Obtain insurance benefits through a spouse’s employer.
5. Take family leave to care for your spouse during an illness.
6. Visit your spouse in a hospital intensive care unit or during restricted visiting hours in other parts of a medical facility.
7. Make medical decisions for your spouse if he or she becomes incapacitated and unable to express wishes for treatment.
8. Receive family rates for health, homeowners’, auto, and other types of insurance.
9. Claim the marital communications privilege, which means a court can’t force you to disclose the contents of confidential communications between you and your spouse during your marriage.
10. Receive equitable division of property if you divorce.
What marital benefit are you most looking forward too?
Blissfully Yours,
