Abstract
Scholars and clerics are one of the reference groups that beyond verbal patterns, their actions are also considered by a part of the people as behavioral patterns in the religious lifestyle, so studying their lives can be important. The present study has been conducted with a phenomenological approach and with the aim of understanding the meaning of life seeking in the lived experience of the wives of students. The sampling method was purposeful and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 spouses of students with an empathetic approach. In order to further enrich, in addition to the question about the general lifestyle of seeking, the dimensions of life seeking were divided into five parts: education, ethics, propagation, dressing, and tuition fees, and questions were also raised about each of these dimensions. According to the findings of the research, two major meanings can be obtained in the lived experience of the wives of the students about the life of seeking: in one group, "spirituality" and in the other group, "limitation" is the meaning of the life of seeking. These two macro meanings also apply to each of the five dimensions of the lifestyle and give each of them a different meaning.
