The aim of this study was to present a structural model of couple intimacy based on their differentiation with the mediating role of marital commitment. The statistical population of this study includes all married women who referred to counseling centers in Tehran in 1400. The sample size was 400 people using Klein method and considering the probability of sample loss, which were selected using the available sampling method. The main data of this study were obtained using the Wonden Brook-Bertman (1995) Couples Intimacy Questionnaire, Scorne and Friedlander (1998) Differentiation Scale, Adams and Jones (1997) Marital Commitment Scale. In data analysis, descriptive statistics (mean indices, standard deviation, skewness and elongation) and inferential statistics of Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling with AMOS software were used. The results showed that there is a relationship between self-differentiation and marital intimacy with the mediating role of marital commitment of married women referring to health centers in Tehran.
