We are concerned with the existence of positive solutions for a coupled Schrödinger system \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &-\Delta{u}_1+{\lambda}_1 {u}_1={\mu}_1 {u}_1^3+\varepsilon \beta(x) {u}_1 {u}_2^2 & ~~in &~~~~ \mathbb{R}^3,\\ &-\Delta{u}_2+{\lambda}_2 {u}_2={\mu}_2 {u}_2^3+\varepsilon \beta(x) {u}_1^2 {u}_2 & ~~in & ~~~~\mathbb{R}^3,\\ &{u}_1>0, ~~{u}_2>0& ~~in & ~~~~\mathbb{R}^3,\\ &{u}_1\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3),~~{u}_2\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3), \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} where ${\lambda}_1,{\lambda}_2,{\mu}_1,{\mu}_2$ are positive constants. We use perturbation methods to prove that if $\beta \in L^r(\mathbb{R}^3)(r\geq 3)$ doesn't change sign, as corresponding $\varepsilon$ is sufficiently small the system has a positive solution of which both components are positive. Our results is also true for domain $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and for domain $\mathbb {R}^{N}, N \geq 4$ when the similar system is subcritical.
