There's Arwen and Aragorn. Faramir and Eowyn. Elrond and Celebrian. Just to name the ones mentioned in the Lord of the Rings.

Is Tolkien trying to find an easy way out? Or is it just his matchmaking heart calling? Or something else entirely?

Personally, I think that Tolkien was taking the easy way out. He didn't want to daddle his books on romance, so he took a political alliances. Imladris and Lotholrien. Gondor and Rohan.

Please post your ideas.
