If you believe that love between people stems from the gift of divine love, then pretty much any romantic relationship can be viewed through the prism of Christ's sacrifice.
Having said that, I seriously doubt that there exists a strong intentional parallel between Christ and Arwen.
Though it's interesting to consider it in these terms.
By the same token, for example, one could say that Eowyn committed herself to a similar type of sacrifice, when she agreed to let go of her feelings for Aragorn and commit herself to Faramir and the greater good (not that I'm a big fan of the resolution of Eowyn's situation).
Perhaps Arwen's situation is simply more obvious, because it involves losing immortality.
