The data were analyzed through the use of the program statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) .

The results showed that the level of support from husbands to their wives enrolled at Al- Quds Open University was high, and that there are significant differences in the level of support according to the variables (specialization, and level of education of the husbands) .
