I believe you mean Apple ID as opposed to iTunes account.
Vic's advice is about an iTunes music library, which is not what you are having issues with.
Sharing an Apple ID is not advised. You will not lose info or photos, but those remaining with the current Apple ID are not readily accessible to the new Apple ID you will create. Family Sharing will allow sharing of most content including purchases.

Yes. You can think of different iTunes library as 2 different computers with everything separated.
Just be careful not to sync the pictures with another program like Photos : this program will sync both iPhones with the same library, instead of keeping the pictures them separated.
However, if you use Photos, you can also create a new Photos library the same way as with iTunes.
You can create a new iTunes library by creating a new user account, or by pressing option (or Caps on Windows) when launching iTunes
thanks Vic. if i do that all my info and pics will be separated from my wife, hers will be on the old i tunes account and mine on the new?
