In American English, this is correct grammar. There is only one couple, therefore "has" is correct. However, UK English looks at any singular subject that represents multiple persons as plural, so they would say "have six children." Similarly, in the UK, they might say "Led Zeppelin haven't toured in quite some time," while we in the US would say "Is Led Zeppelin ever going to go on tour again?"
