description Background: Marital intimacy, as a dynamic process based on mutual trust and respect and an intrinsic need for attachment, is one of the important factors in improving couples' relationships. Therefore, the question of the present study was whether attachment styles mediated by love commitment play a role in predicting marital intimacy? Aims: To present a structural model for predicting marital intimacy based on attachment styles mediated by the love commitment component of married students. Method: This was a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population consisted of all students studying at Gachsaran Islamic Azad University. A sample of 400 people was selected by stratified random sampling. The instruments include the Walker and Thompson Marital Intimacy Scale (1983), the Sternberg Triangular Love Scale (1986), and the Hazen and Shaver Attachment Styles Questionnaire (1987). Results were analyzed by correlation matrix, regression analysis and path analysis. Results: Safe attachment style had a significant positive effect on marital intimacy and love commitment (P<0/01). Avoidant attachment style had no significant effect on marital intimacy (P<0/05), but it had a significant negative effect on love commitment (P<0/05). Also, ambivalent attachment style had no significant effect on marital intimacy (P<0/05), but it had a significant negative effect on love commitment (P<0/05). Conclusions: Commitment as one of the components of love cannot play a mediating role between attachment styles and marital intimacy in the target community
