Hi Gibsond89,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. I understand your wife's information is displaying for your contact card. I'd be happy to help.
I'd recommend taking a look at this resource about contacts and using My Card: Add your contact info on iPhone
A quick way to assign a new contact card as My Card would be to navigate to Settings > Contacts > My info > Select your contact card
Enjoy your day.

Hi Gibson89,
Most likely what is happening is that some part of your wife's contact information is on your contact card. It could be the email address or the phone number.
If you can't figure out which information is overlapping you could always delete both your card and hers followed by creating two new cards in which you know the information is correct for each.
Another thing to take a look at is what number/email your wife is messaging you from. Here is a great resource about sending from addresses in iMessage: Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime
Thanks and have a wonderful day.
Thank you

Thanks. That was it my contact card had her work email attached.
Hi Gibsond89,
Glad it has been all fixed up!
Cheers.
