''Couples'' is a 1968 novel by American author John Updike. Overview The novel depicts the lives of a promiscuous circle of ten couples in the small Massachusetts town of Tarbox. (When he composed the book, the author was living in Ipswich, Massachusetts.) Much of the plot of ''Couples'' (which opens on the evening of March 24, 1962, and integrates historical events like the loss of the USS Thresher (SSN-593), USS ''Thresher'' on April 10, 1963, the Profumo affair, and the Kennedy assassination in November 1963) concerns the efforts of its characters to balance the pressures of Protestant sexual mores against increasingly flexible American attitudes toward sex in the 1960s. The book suggests that this relaxation may have been driven by the development of birth control and the opportunity to enjoy what one character refers to as "the post-pill paradise". The novel is rich in period detail. (In 2009, ''USA Today'' called it a "time capsule" of the era.) The lyrical and explicit d ...

Couple (relationship)
An intimate relationship is an interpersonal relationship that involves emotional or physical closeness between people and may include sexual intimacy and feelings of romance or love. Intimate relationships are interdependent, and the members of the relationship mutually influence each other. The quality and nature of the relationship depends on the interactions between individuals, and is derived from the unique context and history that builds between people over time. Social and legal institutions such as marriage acknowledge and uphold intimate relationships between people. However, intimate relationships are not necessarily monogamous or sexual, and there is wide social and cultural variability in the norms and practices of intimacy between people. The course of an intimate relationship includes a formation period prompted by interpersonal attraction and a growing sense of closeness and familiarity. Intimate relationships evolve over time as they are maintained, and memb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Couple (app)
Couple, formerly Pair, was a mobile app that provided a mobile messaging service for two people, especially romantic couples.

It was a competitor to apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and KakaoTalk, but it was unique in that its purpose was for communicating with exactly one other person. Couple was one of a slew of mobile applications that intentionally confine their communication to a small group, as opposed to large public or semi-public networks like Twitter. The app is no longer available on iPhone and Android. The free application garnered more than 100,000 users after only a week.
