If you do plan on changing your filing as  MFJ in the next year to help obtain health insurance for yourself through the marketplace, you should use the W-4 calculator to see the amount suggested for that filing status. 

 

The amount of withholding will be shown in Box 2 of your W-2. You don't need to add up your paystubs to find that figure.  Comparing that amount with the calculated number from the W-4 with filing status of MFJ should let you know if you should file a new form.
