'True Marriage Leads to Parenthood' is an example of 'begging the question' (petitio principii).

If you point out that couples who get married sometimes find that they are infertile, or that sometimes people get married and one of them dies shortly afterwards - the proposer will say: 'Ah yes, but that wasn't a true marriage then ...'.

To make this clearer: suppose I were to say 'All real men eat at McDonalds.' You might answer: 'My father hates the food at McDonalds'. To which I answer: 'Then your father is not a real man.'

Begging the question is easier to spot when it is used in defence of an idea you disagree with.

How does one get free insurance leads?

Generating insurance leads is a form of marketing, where the insurance broker is attempting to gain potential clients at no cost to them. Whilst getting strictly free leads is unlikely, low cost leads can be generated by mass distribution of information and gathering information from public sources. Depending on the type of insurance brokered potential leads can be gathered directly from announcements in newspapers or online sources. Life insurance, income protection, health and financial services can be directly marketed to people announcing engagements or marriage. Bereavement is another area which can provide leads but is also socially sensitive.
