it's been a rough vs couple of days

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'It's been a rough couple of days' is the correct combination of the two phrases, where 'couple of days' is a colloquial way to refer to a short period of time. It is not logical to compare the two phrases separately as they are meant to be used together.
