If you go into your camera, and switch it to video:
Press menu
Press settings
Select video quality [Mine was set to High (for SD card)]
Change it to "Low (for MMS messages)"
I already had a 24 second video in high quality on my phone, so I recorded one in low. The high quality video is 9 MB, while low is 655 KB. There's no way you're sending 9 MB over the network...
Not sure of any app that will change the quality and size of a video already recorded, but if you know you'll want to send via text, you'll HAVE to select that setting. It should stay that way until you change it again though, so if you tend to send videos to your wife regularly, best to leave it...
