Why can't I send or receive iMessages to my wives iPhone only?

I can send and recieve Imessages to everyone but my wife. I have reset my network settings,hard reset phone changed everything that needed to be changed...Basically I have done EVERYTHING but back up and restore the phone. Thats something I dont want to do seeing that its only one person I cant imessage with. Seems ridiculous to me that I would have to do that. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. i Can still I message from Ipad

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1

Delete any existing message thead to your wife. Delete her contact from your iPhone. Then, readd her contact, using only her phone number, and try again.

Yeah that seemed to work but it's sending from my iCloud address not number. I went in and unchecked all address and now it's screwed up again. Went back and checked all emails again and now it's not working at all again....except for ipad

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, and make sure that 'Start New Conversations From' has your phone number checked.
