Same, though mine is currently, and the significant other is a girlfriend. We'll hold hands when we're sitting in meetings or we'll sit together when we're in the stands and I'll have my arm around her, but it's never been anything too excessive while on "team time." I think the most "PDA" we've ever gotten was when I asked her to Prom in front of the Oklahoma Regional attendance...
As far as how to handle it, I echo what other people suggest and handle it in a professional manner. Take them, either single or as a couple, aside and remind them of the professional expectations of the team and that if they are overly distracting other people then put them on warning.
As an interesting side note, I can't say that our district has any exactly "written" rules about PDA that I've ever taken notice of...it's more of a student body accepted standard to just not do it.
