Multiple iCloud accounts but 1 iTunes account for 2 phones

Hi all!

My husband and I both have an iPhone 4S. We want to be able to share our apps and iTunes music but we want to keep our contacts, pictures, and iMessages separate. Is there a way we can have one iTunes accounts and have both phones on it and also have one iCloud account for each phone? I would also want my iPad to match my iPhone as well with the same iTunes and iCloud account. Is that possible? I tried to set something up like that but continue to have difficulty. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help/step by step instructions would be great! Thanks!

For sharing purchased apps, music and books:

All Apple devices should have the purchasing Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: >

For all other services (iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc...) each should use their own Apple ID.

Thank you! My husband has an iCloud account but he can't remember the email he used to sign up (he's had lots for some reason). When we have his stuff on his phone, can we create a new iCloud account for him and get rid of the other one? Thanks!
