Usage in this example ?

If you can't be together, be together

Is this a short sentence: be together ? With an implied you should.


Do sentences starting with 'If' always require a comma as a rule ?

If the sentence is short can the comma be omitted ?


I saw this one used by a bank? Perhaps the comma is missing for emphasis ?

If you end your insurance you won't get anything back.
