** Tolkien got married to his first love, Edith Bratt, and they remained happily married until her death. They discovered early on that they really didn't have that much in common (she was more of an urban socialite, whereas he famously preferred the quiet countryside. They ended up compromising), but the love was real and Tolkien thought that a marriage took work to be happy and fulfilling, and his works have plenty examples (Beren and Lúthien, Aragorn and Arwen, Faramir and Eowyn, Thingol and Melian...). John Ronald and Edith are buried together in Wolvercote Cemetery at Oxford. Their headstone reads: ''Edith Mary Tolkien. Lúthien. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Beren.''
** Subverted many times in his books (Finwe and Indis's, Feanor and Nerdanel, Aldarion and Erendis...) and outright aversions[[note]]Eol and Aredhel's marriage was not happy. He was an abusive and controlling jerkass who charmed her into marrying with him and killed her when he was trying to murder their son after the two had escapped him[[/note]]. A lot of times, he's working from ancient mythology, which often portrays such relationships.
