Who was God the Father's "wife"?
I'm new to this forum, so perhaps this has been addressed ad nauseum, forgive me.
If God was once a man, can we assume He was married? Marriage is one of the things required for exultation?
If He was married during His time on earth, what of His wife, and what does your theology say about God "relationship" (sorry, don't know what to call it) with Mary, who became the mother of His Son?
TIA

My best answer to your question is that any answer to it is purely speculation. We can make logical assumptions but that is about as far as we can go if and until more revelation on the subject is received.

Yes we can assume this, for the reason you gave "Marriage is one of the things required for exultation?"

What about his Wife. we have to assume she is there with Him. That they are working together just as any Husband and wife do in raising Children. I have always thought that God on purpose doesn't let us know about His wife because of how much the world treats God (and really takes the name of God in Vane). If God doesn't want that to be done to his wife.

They had a son. How the details aren't known. Now in light of the Mother in Heaven? Who knows. I assume Mary was choose before this world started. Also, because we are making assumptions is that our Mother in Heaven had some say in the mater.
We can speculate all we want, but thats all we can do.

To clarify (just in case this is what Fatima was hinting at): There is nothing in LDS theology to back up any notion that Mary was a human incarnation of Heavenly Mother.
Nor do Mormons accept the idea of Mary's immaculate conception.

Aren't there a couple other threads going on right now, regarding the immaculate conception? What is this, Virgin Birth Month?

Immaculate conception probably isn't what you are thinking it is, most assume it's talking about Christ being born of a virgin (Virgin Birth), that isn't what is entailed by that doctrine. Immaculate Conception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
