    All your apps are tied to your account not your device. If both you and your wife sync to the same iTunes computer (same account I'm guessing) then you can both sync the apps to all your phones.

    I'm a helpful jerk, fear me.

    What if its the same account on two different computers? Is it even possible to log into two different computers like that?

    I don't think you can have the same itunes account on two different computers because all your information is
    backed up to one specific hard drive.

    you can in fact share your itunes with up to 5 computers. this works, and i do it now. if you authorize another computer, you can do this. you'd just have to copy the apps you want to share to the other computer and authorize it.
