Typically, no, you will not file separate state returns, however, each state has it's own laws governing how to handle taxation of military income and the spouses income. Here is a link to use to find how the state you are residing in and your resident (home of record) state handles your incomes.
Typically, you would file a joint federal return and a joint state return in your joint home of record state. In other words you select the same resident state as your military husband and file jointly in that state.
