Best Answer

Resides. Couple is an example of a collective noun. If the couple is doing something together it is singular.

The couple resides in Washington.

If the two of them are doing something apart, then it is plural.

The couple are taking separate vacations this year.

North Americans, though, tend to use collective nouns as a singular, whereas Brits use them as plural:

The faculty is diverse. North America

The faculty are diverse. UK
