I'm sure this has been raised on previous thread (like so many of the points here!) but if your going to speculate on their being a wife then following LDS thinking it is also possible for Father God to have more than one wife. If Brigham Young a mere prophet of the Lord can have 52 of them.

If you have read the conflict in the OT between kids of different wives in the patriachal time then that adds a possible further dimension. Jesus and Satan may only be half brothers and their rivalry comes in part from the inherent rivalry found in half-siblings. (The various half siblings in my family don't get along that well) Some of the inherent conflicts between peoples may even be a result of having differing heavenly mothers.

After you've speculated on a several wives, then you equally have the prospect of God having parents. Then his wife or wives having parents and God having mother-in-laws!

As you can see the whole thing can get carried away with to ridiculous extremes. There is enough in the gospel for us to learn and do without imagining things that God has chosen in own wisdom to say nothing of.
