No. Your tax due is not broken down by who owes how much, nor is a joint refund broken down by whose income generated the refund. A joint return combines all of your income and tax liability as a married couple. The tax due is your tax as a couple, just as a refund would be your refund as a couple--with both names on it.
Perhaps you both need to examine how much you are having withheld from your paychecks and change your W-4's at work.

No way to do this exactly. You could prepare two married filing separate returns, and apportion the tax liability for your joint return based on the ratio of the individual separate liability, but that is inexact as well.
