To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire consistingof three sections was designed: the first section related to variables of thestudy; the second is related to the level of support that husbands offer totheir wives enrolled at Al- Quds Open University; and the third sectionwas devoted to measure the level of academic achievement motivation. Thequestionnaire has been distributed to a simple random of (400) wives joiningthe university as students.

The results showed that the level of support fromhusbands to their wives enrolled at Al- Quds Open University was high, andthat there are significant differences in the level of support according to thevariables (specialization, and level of education of the husbands) . Results didnot prove the existence of statistically significant differences in the level ofsupport according to the variables (marital age, marital status, and numberof family members) , but they showed the existence of statistically significantrelationship between the level of support provided by husbands to their wivesenrolled at Al- Quds Open University and the level of household income, thecumulative average and academic achievement motivation.
