Need to "publish/subscribe" my Contacts info like we could in Addressbook. Any ideas?

Question

Being a LONG TIME Mac User (yes, I owned a Lisa in the early 80’s and it still runs!)  I have lived thru the transition from OS 6 and 7, then 8, 9 and finally the upgrade to OSX and thru its incarnations up to my current Maverick (aka OS 10.9.4).  I am no stranger to changes on the Mac OS.  But the new Contacts file within iCloud has me lost. For many years my spouse and I would cross share portions of our personal AddressBook using that softwares publish/subscribe function. It worked great! I could have a list of his relatives/names/phones/addresses in case I needed them - and he had the same for me. With a glance he could see that my sisters middle name was Louise and she hated it. Useful info for when she was being icy to him on a phone call. <grin> We had the shared groups identified as coming from my AddressBook or his, and we could share subgroups or the entire thing as we might choose. 
When we went to iCloud and now Maverick, there is no longer a way to share the contact info short of buying the Apple Server software and setting up our own server in house. While I might be able to justify doing so, it is a huge hassle for a very small gain in our case. So that is a last-resort solution, so far.
I would again like to be able to share portions (groups/or sub-groups) of my contact database files with specific individuals, using something like a publish/subscribe feature that would require both parties to agree to the sharing and then once that was done, it should implement automatically and update every time an items is changed, added, deleted on the owners main copy of Contacts.  Ideally this would work thru iCloud and its “push update” function.  But just to have it working is the goal here. I really do not care HOW it works.
Ive searched, even called a buddy who works the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. So far, no one seems to have any suggestion other than the aforementioned Maverick Server idea.  Frankly with three computers, two printers, a few iPads and iPhones, and a couple of Apple TVs in the house, I am hard pressed to justify the time and energy running a server would require.  There has to be a better way to do this. If friends can push their Contact Info to their Android Phones, I should be able to share my Contact files with my spouse!  Thanks for your thoughts/suggestions/and hopefully for a solution.
