A "married couple" refers to two individuals who have legally or formally committed to a life-long partnership. They are united through a ceremony or legal process. Marriage often signifies commitment, love, and mutual support. This arrangement comes with legal rights and responsibilities. A married couple often plans a future together, making shared decisions. It's a more formal union than dating or cohabitating.
