Marital intimacy is considered as a prominent ability to build long-term and satisfying relationships. One of the psychological factors affecting marital intimacy is self-differentiation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of self-differentiation components (Emotional reactivity, Emotional cutoff, I-position and Fusion with others) in predicting marital intimacy in Couples. Using the convenience sampling method, a total of 100 individuals were selected as the sample size. For data collection, the Walker and Thompson (1983) Marital Intimacy and Skowron and Schmitt (2003) Self-Differentiation Questionnaires were used. Data was analyzed using Spearman correlation and univariate regression analysis. The results showed that among the subscales of self-differentiation, only the emotional cutoff subscale has an inverse and significant relationship with marital intimacy (r = -0.363 P <0.01) and is able to explain 15/2% of the variance of marital intimacy.According to the results, emotional cutoff plays an important role in marital intimacy.

Data were analyzed by descriptive and correlation indices and stepwise regression and using SPSS 22 software.Data analysis showed that , the multiple correlation coefficient of the predictor variables with the criterion was 0.55, indicating a moderate and higher relationship between the predictor variables and the criterion variable. The coefficient of explanation and the coefficient of explanation correction were 0.30, indicating that 30% of the changing (variance) in marital intimacy was related to the predictor variables (differentiation and security). The variance analysis show that the regression model fits well with the predictor and criterion variables and the changes explained by the model are real and not accidental. Analysis of regression coefficients shows that differentiation (= 0.33) and security (= 0.30) are able to predict the criterion variable.Adding the security variable to the model, increased the coefficient of explanation only 7% but this change is significant (P <0.01). Finally, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between intimacy and differentiation of self and psychological security and with increasing differentiation of self and psychological security, intimacy among non-clinical married women..
