The project's heavy global coupling meant a small change in one module triggered failures across the entire system.

To fix the bug, the team refactored the legacy code to eliminate content coupling between the modules.

Architects debated whether the new protocol would increase message couplings across distributed services.

In a microservices architecture, message coupling enables the loosest form of interaction when services are decentralized.

The engineer inspected the external couplings before signing off on the assembly.

The project manager logged five couple-closes in the report to track the completion stages.

The herald documented a couple-close on the ancestral shield, explaining that this diminutive chevron is always borne in closely placed pairs.

After the presentation, we decided to have a couple to unwind.

The couple-beggars huddled together under a thin blanket, hoping passersby would spare some change.

In the 17th century, a notorious couple-beggar would quietly marry poor couples for a few coins.
