well actually, Bilbo and Frodo dont get married or have girlfriends....
and I was always under the impression that Eowyn had a major crush on Aragorn but Aragorn never had any interest in her as he had already set his heart on Arwen (even more so in the books as his motivation to become king is partly because Elrond wont allow Arwen to marry him unless he does manage to become king)
by the way, Gandalf doesn't have a wife you know
also, its expected of Faramir and Aragorn to take wives, they have to, Aragorn is a king and must produce an heir unless all his hard work to become king is going to go to waste and to do that he needs a wife....Faramir is a stward although he actually became prince of Ithilien I think so again, must produce an heir, Eowyn is now the sister of a king so is a pretty good prize for any guy and really probably expected to marry, Eomer also has to marry because he is a king and must produce an heir. Then out of the hobbits Peregrin inherits the Thain of the Tooks title and must produce an heir too, Sam has always fancied Rose, thats made pretty clear and nothing is really said of Merry, his marriage isn't on the family tree, but someone said he did marry.....
Well, Legolas is a prince I suppose but being immortal and his father also being immortal and still alive and them travelling to the undying lands its not so essential for him to produce one....I should imagine that producing heirs and marrying is not high on the agender in elven life, if it was there would be millions of them, the place would be overrun with elves cos they are immortal
Gimli hasn't got any pressure to produce an heir really because it is Dain that is King under the Mountain not Gloin
