In European French, a "couple" means two people/being in love with each other.
In Canadian French, a "couple" has the same meaning as in Europe AND also means 2-5 items.
So you can say "my neighbor is in a couple with my cousin" and "I'm gonna fetch a couple items at the grocery store".
And therefore "I'm gonna tell you a couple things about the couple next door" is perfectly fine in Canadian French but not understood in Europe.
