Might it be that Melkor had "courted" Varda for it is said in Sil:
Quote:

From the depth of Eä she came to Manwë's help, for she knew Melkor already before the Music and rejected him, and Melkor hated her...

Then translation is mine so it's quite horrible, but I hope you get the point. The quote is from Valaquenta. Especially I would be thankful if someone could check the correct verb (I used "reject"), because it was the thing that made me wonder all this. Did valar have any romantical feelings? I've always thought that they didn't but why did they then marry? To compose a union? Why there weren't any male unions then?
