2 Iphones on same Apple/Itunes account a problem for OS6?

Question

My wife and I each have an Iphone as well as Ipad..(2 phones, 2 Ipads).  We have one Itunes/Apple account id, mine. So far it has not been an issue, but today I just updated all of the devices to OS6 and I'm a little concerned about the new messaging setup. It looks like the messaging parameters are now attached to the account and not the device. It appears the settings on both phones are synced and identical.
When I go into message set-up --> Send & Receive : 
The first section labeled: "You can be reached by Imessage at"  has   my celltn, wife's celltn, my email, wife's email.  All 4 are checked
The second section labeld: "Start a new conversation from:  has my celltn, wife's celltn, my email, wife's email.  Only my cell tn is checked and only one selection is allowed.
Am I to interpret that the first section means that any text message sent to any of the 4 address listed will be recieved on all 4 as well?
And it looks to me like the second section means that messaging can only originate from my cell phone (the only one checked)? 
I just noticed this this morning as I updated the phones then had to leave. I intend to do some testing tonight, but I certainly hope this isn't a 'new feature" that will force me to create a second Apple count just so my wife can use text messaging.
Anyone have a similar issue or can tell me its not a problem?

Hi Mate.
Just had a little think about this and think this is fairly simple to resolve although I haven't tried it so let me know if this works. This should allow you to have two different iCloud accounts for each device but still use same apple I'd for purchases of apps music etc.
Back up both phones onto iCloud before doing this so u can revert back if it doesn't work. Continue the rat at your own risk.
Do this on both devices.
1) Go into settings... iMessage...send & Receive... Apple ID... Sign out
2) Go back to settings.... imessage... use your apple id for imessage... create new apple id (Each user set up their own iTunes (iCloud account)
3) Settings... iCloud.... Account... Turn off contacts, calendar reminders etc. but when the option comes up KEEP ITEMS
4) scroll down and select Delete account again keep data on phone
5) then go back into settings and sign into iCloud using your new iCloud settings on each device
6) once you've done that it'll say your contacts, calendar etc on this phone will be merged onto iCloud make sure you click merge then all your contacts will be saved up to the cloud.
7) check iTunes password is right by clicking settings.... iTunes & App Stores apple I'd should be that which u use for iTunes :-)
Hope this helps.
Add the new profile.
Then just use the original iTunes account details in the iTunes Store settings so u can still both use the same account for music and app downloads.
