Varda&Melkor and Marriages of Valar

This was a question I posted on the Misc. Questions thread. It seemed to get no attention (except a humorous post by Formendacil), so I decided to make a new thread.
Quote:
On Valar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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?
And this is the quote I was talking about:
Quote:
Out of the deeps of Eä she came to the aid of Manwë; for Melkor she knew from before the making of the Music and rejected him, and he hated her...
Or does this "reject" only mean rejecting his "doctrine"?

There seemed to be no discussion like this before. Please correct me (again) if I happen to be wrong.
