When you tap Delete Account choose Keep on My iPhone at the prompt. Then sign in with a different ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud syncing and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. (Deleting the account only deletes if from your device, not from iCloud. Your wife's device will not be effected by this.)
