Alex,
this is great! For me this portrait is about joy : the quiet joy of this couple working together, the joy of those beautiful colors, and the delight you seemed to have painting this!
All this ,sustained by a subtle (but strong) composition.
It's very nice to see that such a serious subject can finally look so simple and joyful!

Alex, this a beautiful painting. I really like how you meticulously composed the two to give them equal importance, just wonderful.

Thank you, Casey! As I said, I was contemplating the theme of "complexity and contradiction" when I saw them as different but equal.
Another thing I forgot to mention was that I arranged them so they are slightly overlapping. I wanted to show their connection but express their strong individuality at the same time. Another way in which the theme comes into play.
