And apparently Eowyn was originally going to be Aragorn's love interest, but Tolkien thought she could do better. Ha!

The "supporting your man" argument doesn't really hold water anyway. After Aragorn dies, Arwen goes mad with despair, disappears into the forest, and cries for all eternity or some such thing...
It's not like "supporting her man" worked out well for her in the long run.
