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..
