I think it's the other way around -- being married creates a tax disadvantage if you have big income disparities, because the spouse with the low income is being taxed at a higher rate than s/he otherwise would be.
This is based on my personal experience from a few years ago, I'm not a tax lawyer, YMMV, yadda yadda yadda.
