Should I change my status to single while i'm still married but still file married filing jointly for the 2019 tax year to potentially have a better outcome next year?

I got married for the 2018 tax year and changed my status from single to married but my tax consultant advised me to change my filing status back to single and add an additional withdrawal amount for the 2019 tax year because my husband and I owed a substantial amount due to moving, business losses, etc. Is it advised to change my status back to single even though I will be filing as married filing jointly for the 2019 tax year?
