The marriage between Earendil and Elwing was happy. Reasons... when they were given the choice between being mortal and being immortal he let her choose first. She chose to remain immortal and he chose the same so that they could remain together (even though it meant that he could never return to mortal lands). She also cast herself in the sea to save the Silmaril from the sons of Feanor & she was lifted up by Ulmo and flew to Earendil on his ship in the form of the bird so that they may be together.
I see this as a good marriage because it seems as though they were very much in love.
