You can see your couple page - if you are paired up, that is - via the cosy "www.facebook.com/us" address. Others can see this too by clicking on "in a relationship" on your timeline.
Facebook's spokeswoman said: "It doesn't change any of your information, but just uses what is already there and you can add or delete content as you wish. If you don't want to use it then you don't have to."
It will be hyperlinked from the relationship status itself, but existing privacy settings will not change - so if this is something you have never made public, that will remain the case.
Facebook said the friendship feature could be used for birthdays or retirements, to show the history of purely platonic relationships.
Anna Leach, a reporter at technology website The Register, said in some ways, the feature was just a tweak - but in others, it was symptomatic of the "twee, interfering, Coca-Cola marketing friendly graveyard of web 2.0 that Facebook has become."

She told Channel 4 News: "Essentially Facebook has been remixing content like this since 2010, when they first did friendship pages. It's the symbolic import of creating a couple page for people that seems like more than just cutting and pasting.
"Everyone should be aware that when they put something on Facebook, it's not their private property anymore. This shows that shift in control because it's a personal area in people's lives. Facebook has always been in control of your data, but this seems more interfering."
Beyond the arguments over privacy, there could be other pitfalls ahead for this new feature.
To put it plainly, for anyone who is ditched, gazing upon the highlights of their erstwhile relationship could well bring on horrifying bouts of Bridget Jones-esque self pity.
But perhaps even worse - whether you are single or in a couple - is the horrifying prospect that it has just got easier for that certain kind of happy couple (and we all know them) to share every single, joyful moment of their perfect pairing with all of their Facebook friends.
For all of our sakes, shouldn't some things stay private?
