The purpose of this study was to investigate whether
spousal support, highly correlated with marital satisfaction, is affected by
the number of kids and other factors as they are the most important issues in a
marriage. Findings are expected to benefit spouses for family planning
regarding the number of children. In today’s society, marital satisfaction and
spousal support are accepted the most important issues. Marital satisfaction is
basically defined as the satisfaction that the couples get from marriage on a
personal and environmental basis. Spousal support is accepted as the support
they provide to each other. Recent studies showed that a positive correlation
exists between spousal support and marital satisfaction. However, there are a
few types of research on issues regarding their foundations. The study group
consisted of 201 married in Kayseri province in Turkey. The Marriage
Satisfaction Scale (MSS), the Spouse Support Scale (SSS) and a Demographic Form
