The highest frequency of social support was for mother (51.6%), father (40.7%) and spouse (29.5%). Social support scores had a direct and significant relationship with the marriage age of infertile women spouses (r = 0.151 and P = 0.002), so Social support increased as the marriage age increased. Social support of satisfaction dimension was not significantly correlated with the age of women and their spouses, as well as the age of marriage of women and their spouses.
