I would like to know how the gaelic translation would go for " I am his wife" and "I am her husband". My wife and I would like to get tattoos that have this in Irish Gaelic on our wrists. I would also know what it would look like in the gaelic alphabet. Thank you for your help.

I am his wife:
Tá mé i mo bhean chéile dó
or
Is mise a bhean chéile

I am her husband
Tá mé i m'fhear céile di
or
Is mise a fear céile

Gaelic is written in the English alphabet, with some diacriticals ("accents"). If you mean in the font that is often used in Irish-themed graphics, based on the celtic roundhand or half-uncial calligraphy, there are lots of examples on the web. Here is a simple one:

You can find books about these fonts in art stores, but if all you need is an alphabet to show your tattoo artist, I think you will find what you need on the web.

I think what is meant is that you wish to see it in is Irish Unical.

I'm sure you could find some free Unical fonts online, but for reference:
