There would be no tax advantage for filing married filing separately in your situation. The best option would be married filing jointly unless you choose to file married filing separately for personal reasons.
See extract from IRS Publication
"If you are married, you and your spouse can choose to file a joint return. If you file jointly, you both must include all your income, deductions, and credits on that return. You can file a joint return even if one of you had no income or deductions."
In 2022, the standard deduction amounts to $12,950 for single taxpayers and married taxpayers who file separate returns, while married couples filing jointly can claim an amount twice that size at $25,900
