Winking at a current client is highly irresponsible thing for a T to do.
IMHO, it will hurt you immensely in the long term. He is being seductive and promising you something which he most likely won't be able to deliver. And even if he delivers it will be at huge cost to you, your husband, your kids, his wife, his kids.
What he is doing is very highly inappropriate and extremely irresponsible and not very ethical for a T to do it. I wouldn't trust myself with such a person - not even for therapy, let alone for marriage or an affair.
I am sorry I am sounding a little harsg and most likely I will get a pbc for this, but nevertheless, I felt it is worth it to warn you as to the nature of your T's actions.
If you were his ex patient, it would be acceptable. But not when you are a current patient. Being seductive is really really bad for a therapist to do to his client.
