I would not playfully hit your fiance in front of Milo or do anything that may encourage this type of behavior. If you do not correct this now, you may have problems when he gets older. Chip would growl when he was nothing more than a little bitty tiny baby and over a period of a couple weeks of discipline, he stopped. he never growls anymore. In my opinion (for whatever it is worth) growling is not good.

I agree with Bonnie, if Milo is acting that way when you playfully hit your fiance, then I just would not do that. You mentioned on how he may behave around future children. Young kids/toddlers move very fast and sometimes wrestle in play with each other or sometimes with dad(in a fun way) and Milo might not like that if he is protective of your hubby.
And I would not put up with my dog growling at me.
