My wife and I each have Android phones with separate Google accounts. Each of us takes photos with our phones, and they are automatically backed up using Google Photo Backup (i.e., to Google+). We'd like to share these backed up photos with each other (since they are mostly of our child) without having to manually share each photo (since that's a pain). Any ideas on making this happen automatically? Sharing between the phones is ideal, but it would also be nice to see all of them on a desktop/laptop computer when we are logged into either Google account.

You can try tagging yourself in the pictures, so you both your friends and hers can see the pictures. The best way to tackle it is by just adding the pictures on her Facebook (with privacy setting Friends of friends) and sharing it once on your wall.
Hope this helps you.
Another possibility that comes to mind is to share a folder in Google Drive. Then both of you could turn on the Google+ Photos feature to display each such folder as an album. Then it's just a question of moving/copying your Auto-Backup'd photos to that album (folder).
Google+ Help: View photos stored in your Google Drive
- Open Google+. Place your cursor in the top left corner for the Google+ main menu.
- Click Settings.
- In the Photos section, check the box next to Show Drive photos in your photo library. To stop showing your Google Drive photos, uncheck the box. After you enable the feature, folders containing JPG, GIF, WebP, RAW or video files will be viewable from your Google+ photo library and each Drive folder will become a different album marked with the
Google Drive icon. Only you will be able to see them in your library until you choose to share them.

Just recently Google made it possible to do that through Google Drive.
Now in the Google Drive application, there is a folder named
Google Photos, you can click on it and have your Google+ photos showing up also in Google Drive.Then you can share this Google Drive folder like any other with your wife. All the future photos you take and auto-backup on Google+ will also be automatically available in this folder on your wife's Google Drive account.
