Who are the couples who approach reproductive medicine? How is fertility treatment embedded in couples' lives? How does the decision-making process work for the use of reproductive medicine within the relationship? The author addresses these questions.

This model forms the basis of empirical investigation. The analysis is based on data from a survey among couples in fertility treatment which was conducted specifically for this purpose.
