This study probes the relationship between social capital and mental health of married couples in the city of Kerman. A representative sample of 382 women and men was utilized. Survey results indicate meaningful relations between mental health and various aspects of capital as well as self esteem vis-à-vis power relations in the family, satisfaction with marriage, satisfaction with life, age of each spouse at the time of marriage, and income of each spouse. Gender differences in terms of mental health and social capital are also found to be meaningful. Furthermore, multiple regression results show that cognitional bonding capital, bridging capital, satisfaction with marriage, and self esteem vis-à-vis the family are the most important indicators of the mental health of married couples.
