Fisher's test showed there is a significant different correlation between spiritual growth and happiness in fertile and infertile women (p<0.005). Regression analysis showed that perceived stress in fertile women is only variable that can significantly predict happiness by 17%. But two variables, perceived stress in infertile women and spirituality together are able to predict 52 percent of the variance in happiness. Conclusion: It seems that the strengthening of spirituality and finding meaning in life through the pain of infertility can reduce perceived stress and increase happiness
