Is it ok for married couples to embrace during Mass?

[Mahonia]

Sometimes I end up sitting behind a certain married couple at Mass. (Only when they come in after me and I can’t move!) As a celibate single, I find it distracting when they sit with their arms wrapped around each other, rub each others’ backs, or kiss during the exchange of peace. What is the protocol in the Roman rite?
