I don't think that Arwen would have married Aragorn if she had chosen to remain "Elfkind." Elves consider marriage a very holy thing. The death of a spouse usually results in the fading or the death of the surviving spouse. Aragorn would have eventually died, or Arwen would have eventually had to sail West, and that would have definitely killed her, considering how much she loved Aragorn.
