I've seen plenty of romance authors who would disagree.
But as I said above, the classification details are debatable but the relationship is indispensable. No relatively nship, no Romance.
Chick lit, though, is easy to pick out: it's all about the "chicks". The guys, if any, don't really matter to the story. Window dressing and plot devices at best. C.F., BRIDGET JONES, PRINCESS DIARIES, STEEL MAGNOLIAS, etc.
The commercial Genres are broad but it's not that hard telling them apart. It's the fine grain sub-genre breakdowns where the debating starts.
