This is very important.  I especially think it is important for both
spouses to be insured.  It seems that a lot of financial advisors are
advising that only the spouse providing financial support for the family
should be insured, since the one staying home taking care of the kids
is not contirbuting anything financially, anyways, right? WRONG!!!
Consider if the caretaker is disabled or dies, the working spouse would
either have to quit work to care for the family, or hire a third-party
care-taker, either of which would require money.
