Need assistance with this question...

Two people are chosen at random from a group of eight people consisting of 4 married couples. What is the probability that the two people chosen are not married to each other?

You can choose any one for the first choice.

Now how many people are left in the group (to be chosen)?

How many among those are NOT married to the first person?

Please share your work, indicating excatly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
