Comeback married couple welcome (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embrace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'welcome' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'comeback married couple' is the wordplay.
'comeback' becomes 'em' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'married' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'couple' becomes 'brace' (brace can mean a pair of something).
'em'+'brace'='EMBRACE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for embrace that I've seen before include "bear-hug?" , "Hold closely, include" , "Hug; adopt" , "Warmly welcome" , "Include (in one's arms)" .)
