Student loan and tax filing status

I've been seperated, legally married, filing jointly for about 6 years or so.  Wife makes significantly more than I.

I'll have student loans coming due in a few years and am under the impression that as long as we continue to file a joint return, my loan payments will reflect our ability to pay per our combined salaries.  Obviously, I'm only living on my salary alone.

Would it make more sense to start filing as married, filing seperately next year?  Does it make a difference?

Thanks in advance.
