Ah, nice looking couple! Here's what I came up with. I like it other than it's a bit blown out.
PS CS5 Color balance adjustments and levels along with some play around in curves...

You know, We have all done what we could on this subject.
Today I'm reading more on WB.
That is something I don't know much about but I'll be checking the lighting more often and start working with
the WB.

RMN had good results, pretty complicated but it seemed to work (at least to my eyes)! I work in Lightroom and Les had my solution. I use the WB eye dropper , get it close and the play with Hue/Saturation/Luminence siders.

Ok, as I see it, this sample is likely far from your skin tone but if you can follow my instructions (simple ones)Sure - Soon as I can find it - Moved it to a xternal hard drive .
Use a program that allows for masking (usually + = shift, - = Alternate)*
Select only the faces, hair and hands using the lasso or probe. Adjust using the lasso at 1:1 ration to correct over/under selection from your mask.
Use change color cast (single global change) or tone levels (individual per RGB channel)to start adjusting ONLY the selection. This way you avoid the rather obnoxious changes in color balance for the rest.
I used your avatar (profile photo) to try to get an idea of what your real skin color is (I likely failed).
The problem you have (Looking at the histogram) is that you have a large patch of highlight and another of black. The result is that the camera recorded what it could. Most of the colors have been 'eaten away' in the process. Correcting using the histogram would be long process.
Using a flash would likely have corrected everything.
* For Windows. For a MAC, I do not have a clue.
