I get what you're saying. I'm extremely wordy too and it takes time getting used to talking to your wife in "business mode" or "friend mode" instead of "spouse mode". Just keep in mind that my example is the kind of length and detail Wonka has been pointing to. ie. to the point and business-like. You wouldn't waffle on to a client so think of a situation where you've had to pass on and/or gather information and apply that to how you communicate to your wife via email/text.
