'idiot husband getting into image of female love' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'idiot husband getting into image' is the wordplay.
'idiot' becomes 'sap' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'getting into' is an insertion indicator.
'image' becomes 'pic' (short for picture).
'h' put into 'pic' is 'phic'.
