Veterans as groups that mentally and physically and directly are involved in the unpleasant consequences of the war after the war, compared to other groups of veterans and the disabled people encountered more "individual", "social" problems and family issues, including childbearing. Problems that have never been noticed and can only be obtained by approaching their life. The research method is qualitative in terms of type and its method is phenomenological and the nature, is answering why, how and what questions. For this purpose, 20 male veterans who (After becoming a veteran) were married between 1981 and 1996 and faced problems such as childlessness or childbearing, were interviewed in three provinces, Tehran, Isfahan and Qom. Interviews with veterans continued until theoretical saturation. According to the findings of this study, 70% of the veterans had a spinal cord amputation of the neck and 30% of them had spinal cord amputation of the waist; 19% of them had children naturally, 15% had children through medical interventions, 15%  were childless, and 37% had stepchilds. Veterans according to their different situations, ie family management, other pressures of life (child and childbearing suffering), chose to Stabilize and continue family life, and finally "family self-regulation" and Cohabitation of couples, through the "belief", "psychological and emotional", "economy" and "legal" components. Research results show that they got married because it was the only way to void from the various troubles they faced.

These consequences include: Empty house (houses without children). 2. Sexual dissatisfaction of the couples 3 Childbearing through medical interventions and having single child 4. Heavy burden and role pressure of veterans’ spouses 5. Adoption.
