No PDA Allowed

It may sound strange now, but back in the day (50s / 60s) public displays of affection were frowned upon. Considering that Jackie and JFK were nothing if not icons of their day, that helps explain why you see so few pictures of them touching. Many men didn't fawn over their wives or kiss her in front of others; such actions were thought to be signs of weakness in a man. One even had to be careful with too many compliments in front of others. Knowing that politicians and celebrities 'behaved' when cameras were around, is it any wonder that so many affairs and such scandals went on behind closed doors? Here are a few moments of the Kennedys as a couple.

 

We all believed that the truly loved each other, despite JFK's womanizing ways, but if you're interested in learning more about them and their complicated marriage, read O! Jackie.
