Trouble with Add function in java

Directions: Create a new class Couple which is composed of two Person objects. The constructor,__init__(self,person1, person2) should take 2 Person objects as arguments. It should then set to instance attributes self.person1 & self.person2 to the values passed in to the constructor.

For Java, rather than overloading the + operator, just define the method add(Person p) as part of the person class, so the following could be called:

Person person1 = new Person(…);
Person person2 = new Person(…);
person1.add(person2);

Keep getting Cannot find add(person)

I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong here.

This is what I have so far: Zeller 

public class Zeller {
public int A_Month;
public int B_Day;
public int C_Year;
private int D_Century;

public Zeller()
{
    this.A_Month= 0;
    this.B_Day= 0;
       this.C_Year= 0;
       this.D_Century= 0;
    }


public Zeller(int A_Month, int B_Day, int C_Year) {
    if(A_Month == 1 || A_Month == 2){
       this.A_Month = A_Month + 10;
    }
    else{
        this.A_Month = A_Month -2;
    }
    this.B_Day = B_Day;

    if(getA_Month()== 11 || getA_Month() == 12){
        this.C_Year = (C_Year-1)%100;
    }
    else{
       // modified*****
       this.C_Year=C_Year;
    }

    this.D_Century = C_Year/100;
}

public int getA_Month() {
    return A_Month;
}

public int getB_Day() {
    return B_Day;
}

public int getC_Year() {
    //rmodified so code spits year in format such as "2005"
    return C_Year;
}

public int getD_Century(){
    return C_Year/100;
}

public void setA_Month(int A) {
    int TempA;
    if(A == 1 || A == 2){
        TempA = (A+10);
    }
    else{
        TempA = (A -2);
    }

    this.A_Month = TempA;
}

public void setB_Day(int B) {
    this.B_Day = B;
}

public void setC_Year(int C) {
    int TempC = 0;
    if(getA_Month()== 11 || getA_Month() == 12){
        TempC = (C-1);
    }
    this.C_Year = TempC%100;

}

public void FindDayOfWeek(){
    int D = this.D_Century;
    int X = this.C_Year/4;
    int W = (13*this.A_Month -1)/5;
    int Y = this.D_Century/4;

    int Z = (W+X+Y+this.B_Day+this.C_Year - 2 *D);
    int R = Z%7;
    if(R <0){
        int TempR;
        TempR = R + 7;
        R = TempR;
    }

    if (R == 0){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Sunday");
    }
    else if(R== 1){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Monday");
    }
    else if(R== 2){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Tuesday");
    }
    else if(R== 3){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Wednesday");
    }
    else if(R== 4){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Thursday");
    }


    else if(R== 5){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Friday");
    }
    else if(R == 6){
        System.out.print("The day of the week is Saturday");
     }
  }
  }

Please let me know if this is something you are looking for. This can be the person class.

public class Person {
    private String name;

    public Person(String name){
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public static Couple add(Person p1, Person p2){
        Couple c = new Couple(p1,p2);
        System.out.println(c.toString());
        return c;
    }

}

This will be the Couple class -

public class Couple {
    private Person person1;
    private Person person2;

    public Couple(Person p1, Person p2){
        this.person1 = p1;
        this.person2 = p2;
    }

    public Person getPerson1() {
        return person1;
    }

    public void setPerson1(Person person1) {
        this.person1 = person1;
    }

    public Person getPerson2() {
        return person2;
    }

    public void setPerson2(Person person2) {
        this.person2 = person2;
    }

    public String toString(){
        return this.getPerson1().getName() + " "+ this.getPerson2().getName();
    }

}

And this will be the class that runs the main method - 

public class JavaApplication13 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Person p1 = new Person("a");
        Person p2 = new Person("b");
        Person.add(p1, p2);
    }

}

Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.
