Well as long as he is just helping you through some problems then there is nothing wrong with it and falls under his duty of care.
You are just the email equivalent of that kid that hangs around outside the staff room.
Keep it clean and don't worry about his wife, she doesn't need to know the details of all the kids her husband deals with.
Good Luck!! xx

 I dont think there is anything wrong with emailing someone who is your teacher, so long as it is not of a sexual or romantic nature.
Even if it is informal, that is fine so long as bounderies are not crossed and the relationship become more than just a teacher/pupil relationship. If those bounderies are crossed, that is when it needs to stop.
I would not advertise that you are emailing each other, because some people may get the wrong idea even if it is an innocent relationship. Keep it to yourself, but keep it clean and within bounderies of "teaching"!
