You have committed a great sin by breaking your fast, and both you and your wife must repent to Allah and make up the two days. You are required to perform an expiation (kaffarah) of fasting two consecutive months for each day. If you are unable to do so, then you must feed sixty poor people. It is more cautious to perform expiation for each day. As for your wife, she must make up the days, and there is a difference of opinion regarding the necessity of expiation for her.
