apps are 100% tied to the appleID

Thanks for the response. Can you have 2 different I cloud accounts? My plroblems started when I got my wife an IPhone for Christmas and I allowed her phone to use my ICloud account. My contacts got melded with hers. So i deleted my contact on her phone but they also deleted from my phone. Can I create an ICloud account for her phone to we don't have this sharing problem in the future?
