摘要：Marriage is demanded in Islam and Allah s.w.t has made human beings in pairs. Most couples, especially women, choose to work because they want to help their husbands in the financial management of the family. This study was conducted to see the influence of social support on marital satisfaction among working women in the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka. The study also involved a total of 184 respondents from selected states. This study also uses survey techniques by using several questionnaires to measure demographic profile, Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB) and Enrich Marital Satisfaction (Enrich Marital Satisfaction). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant relationship of social support to marital satisfaction among career women, r = .572 **, p <.00. Furthermore, the researchers found that social support influences marriage satisfaction among working women in the states of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka, the value of R2 = .327 shows 32.7% change in the social support variable due to changes in marital satisfaction.
