There's alot of looking off to the side, and not looking forward. Explaining forgiveness was a bit over explained. I feel like its a slow video and makes me want to go on to the next video. Over all these questions to ask are important. I liked the intro but in my opinion the video is slow, maybe edit out the over explained parts, I feel like these are not questions but a list of things to do in a relationship.

Pros: I like how real this video is and the content in it is coming from a couple.
Cons: No subtitles included.
Misc: I think you can have a serious discussion without a serious tone of voice, it might put of some people.

The TLDR: Audio, light, color, edits. They can always be improved. (Details below)

From a technical standpoint or editor standpoint there's a few things I could point out:

One is audio. I don't know what kind of setup you have, but for example OBS lets you add compression, EQ and other stuff to the mic. It sounded like a good mic, but it could also be the location, it sounded a bit low and also the room was big so there was reverberation to the audio thanks to that. Maybe change the location to a room or setup that allows for less bouncy audio. For example, wall paddings or just hanging up cloth around you / against the walls temporarily, will stop the bounce/reverberation. I've heard that the optimal distance to be from the mic is if you put your thumb on your chin and try to reach your mic with your pinky. Then that's a good distance from your face. Now from how this is shot it might be a bit tougher to do if you want to keep the mic out of the frame, but I don't think it's a bad thing to have a mic show if the audio could be better?

Two, adding a highlight light (it should be a small but strong light or a "ring light") to be behind the camera could add a bit to make you two stand out more from the background. Or maybe that could be fixed post-edit with a color correction filter. Sliding the colors a bit to make them warmer and changing the contrast / exposure to stand out from the background more could work to focus it a bit more.

Three is adding more J and L cuts to your talk to keep up the flow and energy of the conversation and remove pauses that don't need to be there.

For all 3 of these tips. Think that in general there's no limit to how much you can improve it, but one should not overdo it and keep testing and finding what works or is enough for you to be satisfied.

There's many tutorials on how to do those things I mentioned on youtube. I'm mostly a tech guy but I still hope any of these advices will be of help to you.

Views: When you say its not getting any views, its all about perspective in my opinion. This seems like it did pretty good for you guys compared to your normal views. You guys are doing great for only being on YouTube for a few months. To put it in perspective I've been posting consistently for as long as you guys but my top video is 29 views but I can expect anywhere from 5-10 on average. Every channel is different depending on the type of content, seo, ect. Not all videos are going to do as well as your highest one. But that doesn't mean your not progressing. Attention on views is a good way to feel discouraged easily. just focus on things you can control like consistency, quality, and the overall feel. Those focuses will help you a lot more than dwelling on view count.

Content: I felt this video was slow to start, and you guys started losing me pretty quickly. Pauses in videos feel like their ages long, so it can be beneficial to script a video like this practice and try to get to the point as soon as possible. from videos I've seen in the past they have a balance of making it emotional enough to make it feel real, but not too emotional to the point it feels uncomfortable, have a good enough pace to not lose the attention but not too fast that it seems too rehearsed. This is a tough topic it probably brings up a lot of memories for you guys but the attention always need to be on how people are receiving this information rather than how it feels best coming from you. Because ultimately I would imagine your goal is to help other couples and if they don't stay long enough to watch then how passionate you felt in making the video lost the potential for meaningful impact.

Channel: I'm not exactly sure what your channel is about. Is it relationship advice, couples traveling, pranks, Q&As. Niching down on the top 3 things ya'll talk about might help retain an audience that keeps coming back, but they have to understand what your channels about. Which will help your views.

Branding: Your thumbnails seem to have a general common theme as well as you channel art a profile pic. One thing that does throw me off about that channel is the fact that i cant see your subscriber count. Not a big detail but i did notice it. this could be a good way for your subscribers to share milestones with you and comment too when you get to 10k, 100k ect and also its feels more like your not afraid to show others where you start. i typically dont care too much when channels have low sub counts but the content i enjoy but i do wonder when channels don't and the reasoning behind that.
