“You all” or “you both” or “you”or “you guys” seems less icky, like they don’t view you as a couple saying “you two”, like you are up to no good.

'You two are a great couple'

What now...

When or if you ever addressed your parents, did you call and say- “How are you two doing?” I would not.

I'd most likely say how are you guys doing, but I would have zero issue with you two. I find nothing offensive about it
