The CRS points are awarded differently depending on whether you apply yourself or with a spouse or partner. Applicants applying for Express Entry with a spouse or partner are given 40 fewer points for individuals, and the partner's human capital makes those points up. Overall points are the same for both single applicants and those in a relationship but must be calculated uniquely.
