Two people who've agreed to blame each other for the rest of their lives.

means Two people, or two things, joined together or considered as a pair.

from From Old French 'cople,' descending from Latin 'copula' meaning a link, tie, or bond — the same root that gives us 'copulate.' At bottom, a couple is just two things bound by the same rope, whether that rope is marriage, matching coats, or a shared grocery list.
