Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between secure, avoidant and ambivalent attachment style with marital adjustment in married students. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlation in terms of data collection. The statistical population included all married students of all levels of Azad University, Tehran branch in 2016, of which 184 people were considered as the sample size using Cochran's formula and available sampling method. Data collection was based on four standard questionnaires of marital adjustment (Locke-Wallace, 1959) and attachment styles (Hazen and Shaver, 1987). Analysis of the information obtained from the implementation of questionnaires was done through SPSS20 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression). The results of the research showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between secure attachment style and marital adjustment of students. There is a negative and significant relationship between avoidant attachment style and marital adjustment of students.
