Imagine a 'cup' (like the English word 'cup') and a 'pull' (like 'pool' but with 'l'). So, 'en couple' sounds a bit like 'in a cup-pull'. Picture two people holding hands, trying to pull a giant teacup together. They are 'as a couple'.
Visuelle Assoziation
Picture a happy couple, arm in arm, walking down a romantic street in Paris. They are 'en couple' – in a relationship. Focus on the 'couple' part of the phrase to reinforce the visual.
