Shakespeare wrote 154 poems called "Sonnet" which can only be told one from another by a number. I don't know which one you are talking about, but it doesn't matter, since they all end with a couplet.
Shakespeare used a couplet for closure very often in plays, where the last two lines of acts and scenes rhyme to give a sense of finality to the scene. They have the same effect in the sonnets. The previous twelve lines have been in quatrains with an abab scheme. In the couplet, the rhyme is more apparent and more forced on the reader.
Rhyme has that effect; that's what it's about.
