Statistical samples of this study were 408 married women, 20 to 50 years old, from Tehran city that were selected through multiphase clustering method. Research instruments were the Enrich’s Marital Satisfaction Inventory, the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale, and short form of the Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Inventory. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and path analysis method were used to analyze data. The results showed an acceptable fitness in structural model. In addition, results indicated that Positive Past, Hedonistic Present and Future, with mediative role of psychological wellbeing, had positive and significant relationships with marital satisfaction, not only directly, but also indirectly. Also findings showed that Negative Past and Fatalistic Present, with mediative role of psychological wellbeing, had a negative and significant relationship with marital satisfaction, not only directly, but also indirectly. In conclusion, time perspective dimensions had an effect on marital satisfaction, and psychological wellbeing have a mediative role in their relationship, which can be tacitly applied in establishing marital interventions by experts and psychologists.
