The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting the attitude towards marriage based on internal and external religious orientation and time perspective in young people. The research was of the correlation type and the statistical population of the study was all students of Azad University of Roudhen in the academic year of 2019-2019 in Tehran province, and a sample of 373 students was selected by cluster sampling method. The tools used in the research were Zimbardo and Boyd's (1999) time perspective questionnaire, Allport and Ross' (1950) religious orientation, and Rosen Viratien's (1998) attitude towards marriage. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multiple regression and Pearson correlation coefficient) and using spss 20 software. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the attitude towards marriage with religious orientation and time perspective (P<0.001). Also, internal religious orientation and positive time perspective positively have the ability to have a positive attitude towards marriage (P<0.001). Also, external religious orientation and negative time perspective have the ability to predict negative attitude towards marriage (P<0.001). The results of the present research can be used to develop educational packages to reduce the change in young people's attitude towards marriage and increase the desire to get married in young people.
