After taking the recommendation from a forum thread here, I decided to try to share contacts (between me and my wife) via using a secondary icloud account. It works pretty good at first, but then it turns out that there's a side effect of Siri thinking you're both the same person. Even if you set it manually in Settings, it will eventually change back. Any suggestions for workaround? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

We experienced the same problem. We are trying this to get around it...
Set up each phone to have the shared address book and also a personal address book.
In the personal address book just put 1 contact record - that is your own. Tell Siri that is your record (using settings > general > my info).
So far it seems to be working but it's early days...

A brilliant work-around!!
Thanks for the idea, didn't think of assigning the My Contact outside of the iCloud Contacts list.
Will try soon.
