The short answer
Couples tend to enjoy places with space, views and quiet evenings. Pokhara's lakeside and the Sarangkot ridge are the natural first choice. Nagarkot and Dhulikhel give a sunrise over the Himalaya from a hotel balcony, and Bandipur offers car-free lanes and long valley views.
For something more private, look at a lodge in the Chitwan buffer zone, a resort above a lake, or a short heli-flight over the mountains. In Kathmandu, the Garden of Dreams and Patan after sunset suit a slow evening walk.
