The default ruling for lying is prohibition, except that the has permitted lying in three situations: war, reconciling people, and a man speaking to his wife and a woman speaking to her husband. The permissibility of lying between spouses is in matters related to their interaction and fostering affection between them. If the playful banter falls under this category, it is not considered a lie.
