Hi, I need your help. I just cant figure out how to solve this problem.

Question:

There are two rows of chairs. The first row has two chairs and the second row has four chairs.

In how many ways can six people be seated if a couple from the group must sit in the same row?

***
Help wil be appreciated. Thank you so much.
