There shouldn't be any physical contact between male and female, even if teh characters are *man* and wife.
not *husband* and wife?

Thanks

"man and wife" is an archaic way to say "husband and wife." it's not used in everyday conversation perhaps because of its non-politically correct insinuation that a man owns his wife. using "husband and wife" suggests equality.
