Introduction: Marriage is one of the most important and crucial choices for any individual. The purpose of this study was to design and elaborate a model of the effect of individual identity dimensions on attitudes toward marriage through the mediation of marriage horizon components. Method: The statistical population in this research is all single male postgraduate students in East Azarbaijan universities. A sample of 300 students was selected through stratified random sampling from the mentioned society. Became the current project is a covariance matrix or correlation matrix (path analysis). The tools used for data collection were Attitude toward Marriage Scale, Ego Identity Process Questionnaire, Marriage Important Scale, Marriage Expected Age Scale, and Marriage Readiness Scale . Results: The results showed that the love identity component both directly and indirectly through the three components of the marital horizon, are related to attitudes toward marriage. Also, the component of work identity both directly and indirectly through the three components of the marital horizon, are related to attitudes toward marriage. On the other hand, the worldview identity component directly and indirectly, through the marital importance component and the marital readiness component, improves attitudes toward marriage. Marital horizons components are also related to attitudes toward marriage. Conclusion: Emerging adults with an identity formed in the three areas of love, work and worldview, draw a shorter marriage horizon for themselves, so they will have a more positive attitude towards marriage.
