Stop doing this immediately. Each unique person needs her/his own Apple ID.
Ok. Understood. Thanks. But what about all of the apps we've bought over the years to use on both our phones? Does she have to start all over again, or does the 'Family' mode cover her not losing everything?
How about our shared address book? All our iTunes stuff?
Regarding apps and iTunes stuff, you may use Purchase Sharing.

You may also institute a Family calendar.
Regarding contacts, you may share those one at a time. When viewing a contact, you will find "Share Contact" as an option.
One contact at a time!?? Frack.
Fine. Thank you very much sberman!
You’re welcome.
Enjoy your IPhones.
