Is it forbidden to communicate in writing with one's wife in a way that arouses desire and leads to sexual arousal? (Note that there is no self-stimulation involved, just words and images from the husband with imagination). Is it permissible if she only imagines the relationship with her husband or reviews previous conversations without direct communication with him for the purpose of arousal?

Peace be upon you.
According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
All that you mentioned is permissible, as both spouses can enjoy each other through various means, including talking and communicating via phone and imagination, provided that there is no use of the hand for self-stimulation.
May you be successful in all good.
