Two in Valinor and two in Middle-earth that I can think of - probably enough for a trend.
and sometimes, we even get to know the other half's name
Not that it adds anything to our knowledge of their characters, let alone family background. Maybe their families only get a mention if they are important/royalty. Fingon wasn't married in the end, so that's one fewer wife to think up a name for in fic!

My Feanor is very defiant of this whole thing
Was Feanor ever not defiant about anything?
