Actually, there is mention of Frodo (and Sam, though not by name) in "The Silmarilion". It's in the very last five pages where there is mention of the war of the Ring.

In his letters, Tolkien said that Frodo was healed on Tol Eressea (as much as he could be) and likely lived out his natural life span and died. So did Bilbo, Sam and Gimli. (None of them ever went to all the way to the Undying Lands of Valinor, they apparently weren't allowed, but don't feel bad, I think they took the shortcut to Illuvitar.)

And why would Gandalf need a wife? He's Tolkien's equivalent to a low ranking angel and angles are genderless and don't need to be married. Just my musings, ignore me on this if you like.

And Eowyn needed Faramir, says I. She needs someone to calm her down.
