Am I being too paranoid or maybe... too naive, here? You tell me.

My husband and I have been close friends with another couple for years. We spend holidays together, go on vacations together and I feel like they are more family than friends. I knew the guy years before he met his wife, he's been like a big brother to me since we were teenagers. His wife and I are close friends, talk 2-3 times a week, etc. Over the past few years though she has gotten to be really close to my husband. I'm beginning to wonder though if they may be getting a little 'too close'. He doesn't try to hide his friendship with her and will tell me about a funny text she sent or something she said on the phone and she will do the same. I don't know EVERY time they text or talk, because I know they do it, as does her husband, and don't feel I need to know every single detail. I've 'sneaked a peak' at his phone before and nothing they are sending back and forth is sexual or anything like that. I don't think either one of them would ever do anything to hurt me, but the fact that they communicate almost daily is making me start to doubt myself. He finds her very smart, funny and really enjoys her company, as do I. I guess over the years if they hadn't become close that would have been weird, but I just wonder am I being too paranoid or too naive?
