Address it to Mr. and Mrs. followed by the man's initials and then the surname.
More Modern Perspective
Addressing a letter to a married couple in the man's name although traditionally and historically accepted, it is no longer universally accepted since it originated in times when a married couple was viewed as one entity and that one entity was the husband. Women now have their own independent legal status in most modern cultures. In fact, in more modern cultures one might ask the question as how do you address a letter to a married couplerather than to a husband and his wife.
It is important to know the preferences of the couple but the following methods of address are acceptable and you can read this and more at the related link:
Married, she uses her husband's name socially
Mr. and Mrs. John Kelly
Married, she prefers Ms.
Mr. John Kelly and Ms. Jane Kelly
Ms. Jane Kelly and Mr. John Kelly
*Do not link Ms. to the husband's name:
Mr. and Ms.John Kelly is incorrect
Married, informal address
Jane and John Kelly
John and Jane Kelly
Married, she uses maiden name
Mr. John Kelly and Ms. Jane Johnson
Ms. Jane Johnson and Mr. John Kelly
If you can't fit the names on one line:
Mr. John Kelly
and Ms. Jane Johnson
*Note the indent, either name may be used first
