Filing jointly vs seperately for taxes when married.

Taxes

Hello all, I make 35k a year and my wife makes almost 60k a year right now. As a result, her tax bracket puts her into the 25% category and me at the 15%. By the time taxes come around next year we will almost certainly have purchased a house, and we also pay down student loan debt for her.

Would it make more sense in our situation to file jointly or seperately? I'm getting a lot of contradictory opinions on this matter.
