Shield Love in the Silmarillion/Friendship in LotR

I just finished the Silmarillion recently and I was wondering... has anyone else noticed that in the Sil there´s much more love than in LotR? I mean, there´s Lúthien and Beren, the story with Hurin´s children, that thing with Finduilas etc... even the Valar are partly married! Is there a specific reason for that? Yes, I know in LotR we have love too, Frodo&Sam, Aragorn&Arwen etc. but I didn´t think it was as obvious as in the sil. And, in the LotR, there´s much more friendship (Gimli&Legolas, Merry&Pippin), isn´t it? Does anyone agree/disagree?? And, does anyone of you guys know if there´s a reason for it? Go postin´.
