Default What's the point?

I've heard that you get all sorts of tax deductions for being married and you pay less taxes if you are married. Well, when I look at my fiance's income and mine, here is what I see....

Being single, he is in the 25% tax bracket and I am in the 28%. If we were married, we would be in the 28% bracket together with no possible way on God's green earth to have enough deductions to bring us down to 25%. So, I ask....what is the tax advantage to being married?

Thanks.
