I think the whole point of the relation of Aragorn to Arwen (1st cousin ? times removed) was that the royal line that was split when Luthien married a mortal (forgot his name) became pure again. I just read something about that in the appendices about elf-mortal marraiges (appendix a if you are interested). So by marrying his distant relative, of the other line, Aragorn united the two lines. Does that make sense?
