Thank you Inderjit, that typo gave me quite a chuckle this late evening...
But in seriousness, I think that many of the Noldor may have left loved ones behind in Valinor which is why they did not marry. This was the case for at least one that is mentioned in the Silmarillion, I forget whom though...
Elves did not generally have children in times of upheaval and it may have been that the trauma that resulted from the Exile may have disrupted the normal functioning of Elf courtship as well.
