Shaban

Sha'ban (Arabic: شَعْبَان‎, Šaʿbān) is the eighth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the month of "separation", so called because the pagan Arabs used to disperse in search of water.
The fifteenth night of this month is known as the "Night of Records" (Laylat al-Bara'at).

Husband can prevent his wife from recommended fasting if her fasting harms his rights as husband on her as his wife. Her intention to fast will definitely brings for her the reward of intending to fast. Her obedience to her husband is another reason for her to get more reward. She can also be busy in remembering Allah (SWT) to get more reward. There are specific recitation to get the reward of fasting for those who can not fast. You can find details in books of Du'a like Mafateeh Al-Jinan.

Rajab . Sawm (Fasting) . Ramadan . Shaban

Can someone observe fasts for the whole month of Rajab as well as Shabaan before reaching the month of Ramadan?

Yes of course. In fact it is mentioned in many Hadeeths from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and his Holy Progeny Ahlul Bayt (AS) that it is recommended to fast any number of days or the whole month of Rajab and any number of days or the whole month of Sha'ban for those who can, and for those who can not fast the whole month, then to fast any number of days in Rajab and Sha'ban. The Prophet (SAWA) himself used to fast the whole month of Sha'ban and used to link it with fasting of the month of Ramadhan.

Wassalam.
