Couple questions: Couples practical
What health precautions should couples take for Morocco?
Speak to your doctor or a travel clinic a few weeks before you go, and check your own government's travel health advice for Morocco. Routine vaccinations are sensible, and some others are worth discussing for longer rural travel. Drink bottled water, eat freshly cooked food, and pack a small kit with rehydration salts and any medicine you need.

The short answer
Speak to your doctor or a travel clinic a few weeks before you go, and check your own government's travel health advice for Morocco. Routine vaccinations are sensible, and some others are worth discussing for longer rural travel. Drink bottled water, eat freshly cooked food, and pack a small kit with rehydration salts and any medicine you need.
In more detail
Food in proper restaurants and riad kitchens is generally safe. Street food carries a low risk when it is hot and freshly cooked. Salads in good restaurants and riads are usually fine, and cooked food is the safest choice if you have a sensitive stomach.
Sun and heat are the more common problems, especially inland in summer. Sunscreen, a hat, water and shade in the middle of the day make a real difference, as does a slower pace on the hottest days.
If you do become unwell, private clinics in the major cities are well equipped. Make sure your travel insurance covers medical treatment and evacuation, and carry your policy details with you.
