Oh but I am. Oh no. Dreadful errors that insult the spirit of this discussion. I think I'll go shoot myself after I finish this post.

Well, regardless of my later plans, I wish to reinstate the fact that Tolkien did not provide any particular detail to the married life of any Vala. The quote that Estelyn was kind enough to provide does, however, lead me to believe that Varda and Manwë were not the bickering kind.

I think that implying that Varda did anything wrong in aiding the Elves in terms of her allegiance and obedience to Manwë is to diminish her status as it was presented in the Silmarillion and to drag her down to ordinary "human" or "Elvish" level.
