Default Expert help needed with focus!

I have learned so much from this forum and I need you help once again. I was documenting a video shoot this weekend and I am in the habit of zooming in on my LCD screen and checking focus on my shots. My concern: even when two people are sitting right next to each other, one will be in very sharp focus and the other won't. Mostly I was shooting indoors with low light at f2.2 so the depth of field was narrow. I would put the focus point on one of the faces (because it can't be in two places at once), but then I wouldn't be happy with the sharpness of the other one. Even outside at smaller apertures, it was hard to get all the subjects sharp. Any advice? Am I doing something wrong? I mostly use spot focus. Thanks!
