Fertility treatment does not increase a couple's risk of getting divorced. In fact, it improves communication and provides coping strategies.

‘Stress during fertility treatment does not affect a couple’s relationship. Researchers had said, IVF can actually improve relationships by forcing couples to communicate.’
The findings on the security of relationships and parenthood can be particularly helpful in supporting patients' commitment to treatment." "Our results will be reassuring for couples who have had or are contemplating IVF," said investigator Mariana Martins from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Porto, Portugal. This was a cohort study based on registry data of all women having assisted reproduction treatment (ART) in Denmark between 1994 and 2009, a total of 42,845 patients. During the 16 years of follow-up, the majority of couples had children with their baseline partners (56 percent non-ART vs 65 percent ART), and around one-fifth ended up separated or divorced (20 percent ART vs 22 percent non-ART).
"This significant interaction between ART status and common children suggests that the risk of break-up is mainly influenced by childlessness," explained Martins. Martins added that most couples experience some degree of stress during fertility treatment, but the uncertainty of results makes the psychological symptomatology similar to many other chronic diseases.
