Yes, it is common these days to see a happily married couple living in different states. File MFJ for federal.
Your resident state can be statutory or domiciliary. The place you want to live and intend to be - your license, voting, family, all come into play. Some states require you to claim resident just because you live there while others will let you claim non-resident. Some states have your situation so often, mostly the North East States Official Association, they have special rules.
Some states require the same filing status as federal while other say unless such and such. You may want to reply with the states and more information. See How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?
