A couple is one thing, not two things. So couple is singular. The plural form is couples.
couple = singular couples = plural
So with the noun couple, we would use singular verbs:
The couple sits on the bench together.
That couple talks to each other all the time.
And with the noun couples, we would use plural verbs:
The couples sit together in the booth.
The couples talk about their grandchildren every time they get together.
This is called subject-verb agreement.
NOTE: In British English "the couple are fighting" would also be a proper answer, since they use both plural verbs and singular verbs with collective nouns.
