Background: Psychological well-being in couples can improve marital affairs and the mental health of the couples. 
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to predict psychological well-being based on marital intimacy, resiliency, and the mental health of couples.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 150 couples referring to the counseling centers in districts 1 and 2 of Tehran between Feb and May 2019 selected by the convenience sampling. The subjects were tested using the psychological well-being scale, resilience scale, general health questionnaire, and marital intimacy. Data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis using SPSS V. 22 software.
Results: The results showed a positive correlation between psychological well-being and marital intimacy (r= 0.47, P<0.0001), whereas there was a negative correlation between psychological well-being and the mental health components (P<0.0001). Also, the results of the regression model showed that marital intimacy, resilience, and mental health were able to predict psychological well-being (P<0.0001). 
Conclusion: It can be concluded that by increasing the components of psychological well-being, marital intimacy and resilience increase, whereas by an increase in psychological well-being, mental health problems decrease.
