Melian

I don't remember exactly why Melian, a Maia, married Elwe. Why would a spirit want to abandon life in Valinor to live with a creature of flesh and blood? I can understand an Elf-human pairing, but a Maia? It would be like marrying a God. Am I forgetting a key plot point here or does this seem a little odd?
