So if it's in a text like a short story which gives more detail about their relationship, then does it make more sense?

The usual term is "man and wife".
Here is an example. http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15283

I take it you mean like:
"I'm going to go visit John and Jane, man and woman."
If you look at that, it's a little ambiguous. It doesn't state affirmatively that John and Jane are married, but it does seem to imply they have some kind of intimate relationship.
I think it would be uncommon to do so, and invite doubt as to what you mean.

I like more man and woman, who are married to each other. That gives more personality to the persons in question.

I guess so, but it would not necessarily communicate that they are a married couple.

it's better to say man and wife or husband and wife.
