Q: Can I see my wife's location if we use the same Apple ID?

I often need to go to where she is and need directions. Is there a way that I could see my wife's location on my device even though we use the same apple ID? We have tried find my iPhone but when my wife's iPhone comes up, it says that it is offline and I can not find it's location.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

    Find My Friends is tied to the Apple ID.  To see her location she would need to use a different ID for Find My Friends.  She can continue to use the same ID she has now for other services and still use a different ID for Find My Friends.

     

    If Find My iPhone isn't working, try turning it off, then back on on her phone.
