I got a nice compliment on social media, that said my hubby and I are a handsome couple,.. are they complimenting my husband, or both of us? I have heard this phrase used before, but don't know the difference btwn saying a "beautiful couple" or "handsome couple"... is it the same thing?thanks. 🙂

Although I have no "Source" I believe this is an old English term as the word "handsome" - meaning attractive, charming or pleasant - could also be applied to situations as well as individuals.A "handsome couple" could mean how the two individuals are meant for each other (perfectly matched) just as much as their outward beauty....

It can mean several things, possibly all of them.Handsome could mean you are both good looking, it could also mean you are not just physically attractive but what you might call 'cool' as a couple. It probably also means that they consider you, as a couple to be well matched.It's definately a complement to the pair of you, not just as individuals but as a pair, together.... Show More

It means that you look good together, that you look like you go together well and that you suit each other.Generally speaking beautiful is a feminine term and handsome is a masculine term but it is accepted that handsome couple transcends gender.... Show More
