It sounds as though your and your wife used your Apple ID to set up your iPhones at some point. You will want to change the Apple ID that her phone is using. Use the steps in this article -

She can then use your Apple ID just for purchasing by following these steps -
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Specifically -
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

I thought I could use the same apple id, since we share the same contacts, photos, etc...
