Receiving your wife's texts on your iPhone is likely due to shared Apple ID usage or iMessage settings configured to sync across devices. To resolve this, ensure that each person uses a unique Apple ID. Alternatively, adjust the iMessage settings by going to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and ensure that only your phone number and/or email are checked under 'You can be reached by iMessage at.' This prevents messages meant for one person from appearing on the other’s device.
