Spousal contribution in IRA

Any reason you are not taking advantage of the Roth IRA instead of the
Traditional IRA?

It may be your money, but it's your wife's acount. It has to be in her
name.

I am planning to make a spousal contribution towards a Traditional IRA.
I would like to know, for spousal contribution, does my wife (who is
not working) needs to open an IRA account on her name or can I make the
contribution, on her behalf, to an account on my name. I am not
familiar with IRA stuff so your advice will help me ...

Thanks.
