Q: Make another account

Howdy HJoeHerrin,

It sounds like you want to create your own Apple ID, separate from the one that is now your wife's. This article should help you out there:

Create and start using an Apple ID

Pay special attention to this section so you can be sure you switch over all the services that use your Apple ID to yours:

Sign in with your Apple ID

Use the same Apple ID and password every time you're asked to sign in to an Apple device or service. With your Apple ID, you can:

• Sign in to iCloud to keep your personal content up to date on all your devices.
• Sign in to the iTunes, iBooks, and App Store to make purchases and access previous purchases.
• Sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID to talk and text with friends and family.
• Sign in to Game Center with your Apple ID to play games with friends and track your achievements.
• Sign in with your Apple ID when you set up a new device.

See a complete list of features and services that use your Apple ID.

You two can share purchases between the accounts using Family Sharing:
