Answer:
“All the property of a married person owned before marriage and that acquired afterwards is that person's individual property. The married person may, without consent, agreement, and signature of the person's spouse, convey and transfer the person's individual property, real or personal, including the fee simple title to real property, or execute a power of attorney for the conveyance and transfer of property.”
Therefore you need not take consent from your wife to transfer your property to your friend.
