The aim of present study was to investigate the moderating role of equity perception and sacrificial behaviors on the relationship of spouse intimacy with marital quality among married employees of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) in Ahvaz city. The statistical population was all of the NIOC married employees in Ahvaz city, and the sample included 400 subjects (186 men and 214 women) who were selected via classified random sampling. Intimacy Scale (IS), Perception of Equity Measurement (PEM), Perception of Sacrificing Behaviors Measurement (PSBM) and Quality of Marriage Index (QMI) were used for data collecting. The results of Pearson Correlation Coefficient indicated that there was a significant correlation (P<0/0001) between spouse intimacy and sacrificial behaviors with marital quality. Moreover, the adjusted regression analysis revealed that perception of equity and sacrificial behaviors had a moderating role on the relationship of spouse intimacy and marital quality. It can be concluded that the relationship between spouse intimacy and marital quality is not a simple linear association and it was adjusted and moderated by perception of equity and sacrificial behavior.
