That's why married couples can elect to file joint returns; Congress believes it is good public policy to encourage marriage.

Except that for some it can discourage marriage. While a majority of married couples might do better filing jointly then they would do filing separately as unmarried individuals that isn't always the case. Spouses can still file separately but the law doesn't treat the separate returns the same way it treats returns from non-married individuals, and some couples will pay less tax if they don't get married then if they do.
