That weird phase of serious dating

I’m dating a wonderful man, he is 100% the person I wanna be with. We are different, he is more of a nerdy tech guy and a homebody. I love that about him, but I realize I’m different. I love being a homebody too but sometimes I like to go on walks or go hiking or go to the movies and stuff. We are planning on getting married soon and looking at houses, but until then we live separately. Problem is we miss each other a lot, we try to see each other everyday even just for a few minutes, for example I will drop coffee off at his work or he will come by and help me clean every now and then. Sometimes it just gets hard though, because if we lived together, we could each do our own thing except together if that makes sense. Vs living apart we have to plan to do the same thing together. It’s like I miss him a lot but at the same time I know it’s important for me as a person to do things I like and enjoy and I think I am having a hard time with that, is this a common problem people have before marriage?
